About SC Freiburg
SC Freiburg was formed on 3 March 1912 when two clubs founded in 1904 merged: Freiburger FV 04 and FC Schwalbe Freiburg, which had been renamed Union Freiburg by then. Do not mix it up with Freiburger FC. That separate club from the same city won the German championship in 1907, before SC Freiburg existed. For decades the club played at the Dreisamstadion, which opened in 1954 and took its name from the Dreisam, the river that runs past it. In 2021 the club moved into the Europa-Park Stadion, named after the theme park in nearby Rust.
Volker Finke coached the club for 16 years, from 1991 to 2007. He took Freiburg into the Bundesliga for the first time in 1993, and they stayed up in that first season only on goal difference. In 1994-95 they finished third, three points behind champions Borussia Dortmund, and qualified for Europe for the first time. Their flowing football earned them the nickname Breisgau-Brasilianer, the Breisgau Brazilians. Their first European campaign ended in the first round of the 1995-96 UEFA Cup against Slavia Prague. Before all that, Joachim Löw had three spells at the club as a player and scored 81 goals in 252 games. He later coached Germany to the 2014 World Cup.
Robin Dutt took Freiburg back to the Bundesliga in 2009 and left for Bayer Leverkusen in 2011. Marcus Sorg replaced him and was sacked that December. Christian Streich, Sorg's assistant and the club's long-time youth coach, then took over and stayed for more than 12 years. Under Streich, Freiburg reached their first DFB-Pokal semi-final in 2013 and lost 2-1 at VfB Stuttgart. They went down on the last day of 2014-15 after a 2-1 defeat at Hannover 96, then won the 2. Bundesliga in 2015-16, with RB Leipzig promoted as runners-up. In 2022 they reached their first DFB-Pokal final and lost to RB Leipzig on penalties. They won their Europa League group in 2022-23 before Juventus knocked them out, and in 2024 West Ham came back from a first-leg defeat to win the second leg 5-0. Julian Schuster, a former Freiburg captain, took over from Streich in summer 2024.
Freiburg has sold many players on to bigger clubs. Rodolfo Cardoso joined Werder Bremen in 1995. Jörg Heinrich went to Borussia Dortmund in 1996 and played the whole 1997 Champions League final. Levan Kobiashvili moved to Schalke 04, Papiss Cissé to Newcastle United and Oliver Baumann to Hoffenheim. Robin Koch went to Leeds United, Çağlar Söyüncü to Leicester City, Luca Waldschmidt to Benfica and Nico Schlotterbeck to Borussia Dortmund. Some players came back or stayed for years. Matthias Ginter returned on a free transfer from Gladbach in 2022. Nils Petersen joined from Werder Bremen in January 2015 and stayed until he retired in 2023. By then he had scored 34 Bundesliga goals as a substitute, more than any other player.
