VfL Frohnlach is a German association football club from the municipality

of Frohnlach in Ebersdorf bei Coburg, Bavaria.

History[edit]
The club was established as Sports Club Arminia Frohnlach in 1919 and, after a 1925
merger with Turnverein Frohnlach, became Verein für Leibesübungen 1919 e. V.
Frohnlach. In addition to fielding a football side the sports club had departments
for cycling, fistball, and gymnastics. Like other clubs that were part of the Arbeiter-Turn-
und -Sportbundes (Worker's Gymnastics and Sports Union) VfL was banned in 1933 by
the Nazi regime as politically undesirable. After World War II it was re-established
as TV Frohnlach and before the end of 1945 was playing as Allgemeine
Sportvereinigung Frohnlach. By 1948 the association was again known as VfL.
The footballers took part in lower level local play in the Coburg district league, until the
mid-70s when the club made a rapid ascent with the support of local furniture maker
Willi Schillig, who took on the presidency and a major sponsorship role. Three
consecutive promotions from 1978 to 1980 saw the club through to the fourth
division Bayernliga. They also made their first appearance in DFB-Pokal (German Cup)
play in 1980 where they were put out in the second round by Stuttgarter
Kickers (0:9). Frohnlach enjoyed a decade long run in the Bayernliga until slipping to
become an elevator side, moving frequently up and down between fourth- and fifth-tier
play. The team competed as an Bayernliga side in 1992–93, 1994–99, and 2004–07.
Their most current result, a 16th-place finish, saw the club sent down to the Landesliga
Bayern-Nord (V), where they finished on top and returned to the Bayernliga for the
2008–09 season.
After another relegation in 2010 the club promptly bounced back and won the
Landesliga title for a fifth time in 2011. At the end of the 2011–12 season the club
managed to finish in the top nine of the Bayernliga and thereby directly qualified for the
new tier four Regionalliga Bayern.[1] In the 2012–13 season the club struggled in the
bottom region of the table all season and was eventually relegated back to the
Bayernliga. Frohnlach had to enter the relegation round in the 2015–16 Bayernliga
season and, after two loses against Würzburger Kickers II, was initially relegated but
was awarded another opportunity by having to face SV Erlbach for one more Bayernliga
spot where the club successfully defended its league place.

 With the introduction of the Bezirksoberligas in 1988 as the new fifth tier, below
the Landesligas, all leagues below dropped one tier. With the introduction of
the Regionalligas in 1994 and the 3. Liga in 2008 as the new third tier, below the 2.
Bundesliga, all leagues below dropped one tier. With the establishment of
the Regionalliga Bayern as the new fourth tier in Bavaria in 2012 the Bayernliga was
split into a northern and a southern division, the number of Landesligas expanded
from three to five and the Bezirksoberligas abolished. All leagues from the
Bezirksligas onwards were elevated one tier.

Stadium[edit]
Between 1958 and 1980 the club played its home matches at Am Wirtsteich until the
opening of the Waldstadion (capacity 5,000). The stadium has served as a venue for
matches of the German junior national U20 and U21 teams. In 2006 the facility was
renamed for club president Willi Schillig.
