Schwarzwälder Fußballverein

[Duilio05]

Schwarzwälder Fußballverein was created, developed and started with GMs @Duilio05 and @FaraDian in S10. Initial concept was discussed as early as S8. Active team members @Shnitzl and @_Blitz_ provided significant support, input and help developing details and logos for Schwarzwälder Fußballverein.

The number of SSL teams based in Europe reflects the sport's popularity there, but the league lacked a representative in Germany to honor the great footballing nation. Fußball in Germany dates back to the turn of the 20th century and the country has the second most World Cup titles. (Every World Cup winner had an SSL team except Germany and Uruguay.) Schwarzwälder Fußballverein (SFV), also known as Black Forest, was created to be the German representative for SSL.

The stark white team bar sets us apart, as does our signature black and white home kits. The team seeks to establish and recall tradition both of the sport and of the home region. Stationed in Pforzheim, Baden-Württemberg, Germany, the team plays home games at the fully remodeled Brötzingen Valley Stadium. The stadium is named Drei-Täler-Kampfbahn (Three Valley Arena). Constructed as much as possible from renewably-sourced lumber, this wooden behemoth reflects the forbidding nature of the Schwarzwald itself. Like the logo, the stadium calls to mind the dark forests of Grimm fairy tales, a place where magic and danger live side by side.

Kits and training gear will of course be provided by German brand Adidas. Home fans will be excited to watch the team play in classic schwarz und weiß: “eerie black” and “snow white.” Change kits will additionally feature the region’s signature kiefer and kirsch. Kiefer, “evergreen”, is for the prevalent firs, pines, and spruce trees of the forest. Kirsch, “cherry”, for Kirschwasser; the region’s sour cherry brandy that features in the famous Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte, a chocolate and cherry cake.

Team History

While official league stats for Schwarzwälder start with S10, all management positions including Owner, Chairman, General Managers, and Coaches had been replaced by the current regime at the beginning of S7. The SFV ownership and managers consider it a disservice to our history if we do not recognize the stats accrued during Seasons 7, 8, and 9 of the inaugural S10 roster. To remember where we came from and to where we are headed those stats are incorporated into the team's Career Records.

In S12 off-season the league realigned from a Pro/Reg system to Major/Minor Leagues with each Minor Team being Franchise connected to a Major Team. Thanks to our ability to earn promotion during S11, SFV was selected for the Major League. Our sister Minor League team is Montreal United. All Montreal related stats are kept in a separate sheet.

Dimitar Berbatov, Taco caT, Fara Dian, Sator Freddy, Zinedine Gintonic, Thomas Llewellyn, Jonathan Parker, Peregrin Plink, Muunokhoi Sarantsatsral, Karl Schenkinger, Rob Tucker, Tamanna Whittington, Sami Zerhouni
