Sport-Club Freiburg also named as SC Freiburg is a German football club, located in the city of Freiburg in Breisgau, Baden-Württemberg. The club is a part of Bundesliga and has been awarded as champions from the Bundesliga in 2016. The club initially struggled between the first and second tier of the German football league system, which led to an initiative of the slogan, “We go down, we go up, we go into the UEFA Cup!” during the 1990s by the fans
the club’s home ground has been the Schwarzwald-Stadion since inception. While Volker Finke was the longest acting manager in the history of professional football in Germany for the club, and served for the duration from 1991 and 2007, whereas, Joachim Löw, who is the current manager of the Germany national team, is the club’s all-time leading goal scorer with 81 goals in 252 games during his three spells at the club.
History
The club was incepted in the year 1904: Freiburger Fußballverein 04 was formed in March of that particular year while FC Schwalbe Freiburg was established just two months later. Each of the clubs went through several name changes, with Schwalbe becoming FC Mars in 1905, Mars becoming Union Freiburg in 1906, and FV 04 Freiburg becoming Sportverein Freiburg 04 in 1909. Three years later, SV and Union formed Sportclub Freiburg, at the same time appointing the griffin head.
After the destruction of World War I, SC Freiburg entered into a temporary arrangement with Freiburger FC to be able to get a full side called KSG Freiburg. The next year, SC Freiburg associated themselves with FT 1844 Freiburg as that club’s football department, until 1928 when they left to enter into a stadium-sharing arrangement with PSV (Polizeisportvereins) Freiburg 1924 that lasted until 1930 and the failure of PSV. SC Freiburg then picked up again with FT 1844 Freiburg in 1938. The club played on the highest level from 1928, first in the Bezirksliga Baden, then in the Gauliga Baden, from which they were relegated in 1934.
