VfB Pößneck
VfB Pößneck is a German association football club from the city of Pößneck, Thuringia with a membership of roughly 400. __TOC__ History ''Vereins für Bewegungsspiele Pößneck'' was founded 2 August 1909 and established its own ground at Sportpark an der Warte in May 1925. All organizations in Germany, including sports and football clubs, were dissolved by Allied authorities in the aftermath of World War II. The club was re-established in 1950 and played as ''BSG Fortschritt Pößneck'' until being renamed ''BSG Rotasym Pößneck'' in 1980. East German clubs were typically connected to a local industry, service, or branch of government and these name changes reflect the club's affiliation with a fabrics factory, and later, the Rotasym firm. Following German re-unification in 1990 the football departments of ''Rotasym'' and ''BSG Rotation Pößneck'' merged to form ''Sportgemeinschaft Pößneck''. This club was re-christened ''SV WSD Pößneck'' in 1991 and on 27 May 2 ...

Football Clubs In Germany
Football is a family of team sports that involve, to varying degrees, kicking a ball to score a goal. Unqualified, the word ''football'' normally means the form of football that is the most popular where the word is used. Sports commonly called ''football'' include association football (known as ''soccer'' in North America and Australia); gridiron football (specifically American football or Canadian football); Australian rules football; rugby union and rugby league; and Gaelic football. These various forms of football share to varying extent common origins and are known as "football codes". There are a number of references to traditional, ancient, or prehistoric ball games played in many different parts of the world. Contemporary codes of football can be traced back to the codification of these games at English public schools during the 19th century. The expansion and cultural influence of the British Empire allowed these rules of football to spread to areas of British infl ...
