SC Freiburg Colors, Facts and History

SC Freiburg history

Freiburg im Breisgau, a city in Baden-Württemberg, is the base for Sport-Club Freiburg e.V. The club traces its start to 1904, which puts it well past its 100th birthday. These days it sits in the Bundesliga, a spot it secured by finishing first in the 2. Bundesliga in 2016 and going up as champions.

For most of its modern era the team played at the Dreisamstadion, its ground from 1954 until 2021. That year brought a move to a brand new venue, the Europa-Park Stadion, which seats 34,700. A club changing grounds after almost seven decades is a big deal for its fans, since habits, walking routes and matchday traditions all shift at once. Freiburg made that switch while staying in the top division, and the newer stadium now hosts every league visit from the biggest names in German football.
