VfL Wolfsburg

Nestled in the heart of Lower Saxony, VfL Wolfsburg is a football club deeply intertwined with its industrial heritage. Known as 'Die Wölfe' (The Wolves), the club's identity is linked to its founding city and the automotive giant, Volkswagen.

A Club Forged in Industry

The roots of VfL Wolfsburg trace back to post-World War II. Founded on September 12, 1945, initially as VSK Wolfsburg, it was established for workers of the new Volkswagen plant. This direct connection fostered a strong community spirit, defining the club today.

Ascension to the Top Flight

For decades, VfL Wolfsburg climbed German football's lower tiers, building infrastructure and a fanbase. Their dedication paid off in 1997 with promotion to the Bundesliga, Germany's top division. This marked a significant turning point, establishing their place among the nation's elite.

Moments of Glory

The men's team pinnacle arrived in the 2008-09 season. Under coach Felix Magath, a team featuring Grafite and Edin Džeko sensationally claimed their first Bundesliga title. Another triumph came in 2015, when Wolfsburg lifted the DFB-Pokal (German Cup), defeating Borussia Dortmund in the final, and subsequently won the DFL-Supercup.

The Unrivalled Women's Team

While the men's team has seen success, VfL Wolfsburg truly shines through its dominant women's team. A powerhouse in European women's football, they boast multiple Frauen-Bundesliga titles, numerous DFB-Pokal der Frauen victories, and notably, back-to-back UEFA Women's Champions League titles in 2013 and 2014. Their sustained excellence sets a benchmark globally.

Home of the Wolves

The club's modern home is the Volkswagen Arena, a state-of-the-art stadium opened in 2002. It symbolizes the club's progression and ambition, providing a vibrant atmosphere for fans, whether for a thrilling Bundesliga clash or an intense European encounter.
