VfB Stuttgart (German pronunciation: [faʊ̯ɛfˈbeː ˈʃtʊtɡaʁt] ⓘ) is a German women's association football team based in Stuttgart, Baden-Württemberg.

History

VfB Stuttgart founded its women's football department on 31 May 2021. Since 1 July 2022, the first women's team has been part of VfB Stuttgart 1893 AG, the company that operates the professional football department of the club.[1] The women's team started competing in the 2022–23 season, with plans for multiple teams in cooperation with VfB Obertürkheim whose women's football department officially established in 1994.[2]

Heiko Gerber became head coach on 28 July 2022, succeeding Lisa Lang, who remained as team manager.[3] Sascha Glass was appointed as sporting director in June 2023.[4] In the 2023–24 season, the club finished top of Oberliga Baden-Württemberg, securing promotion to the Regionalliga Süd.[5] On May 18, 2025, the club clinched the 2024–25 division title with a commanding 12–0 win over TSV Schwaben Augsburg, earning promotion to the 2. Bundesliga.[6]
