VfL Sportfreunde Lotte is a German association football club from Lotte, North Rhine-Westphalia. The football team is part of a sports club with approximately 1400 members and departments for handball, walking, gymnastics, and swimming, as well as other activities.
History
The association was established as the gymnastics club Turnverein Lotte in 1929. After World War II the club was re-established as VfL Sportfreunde Lotte on 9 February 1946 and was built around football and handball departments.
Lotte reached the Verbandsliga Westfalen (V) in 1996 and after a title there in 2004 were promoted to the Oberliga Westfalen (IV), later Regionalliga West. They won that league in 2012–13 but lost the promotion play-off to RB Leipzig. In 2013–14, the club finished in second place. They won the Regionalliga West once more in 2015–16 and, after defeating Waldhof Mannheim in the play-off, earned promotion to the 3. Liga for the first time. On 18 May 2019, they were relegated back to the Regionalliga.
Sportfreunde plays their home matches in the Frimo Stadion (formerly the Sportpark am Lotter Kreuz) which holds 10,059 spectators.
Sportfreunde Lotte har hatt en beskjeden historie i tysk fotball, men har opplevd en opptur de siste årene. I 2016 vant de Regionalliga Nord og rykket opp til 3. Liga. I 2018 ble de nummer to i 3. Liga og rykket opp til 2. Bundesliga for første gang.
Klubben er kjent for sin offensive spillestil og har en rekke unge og talentfulle spillere i laget. De ledes av trener Andreas Golombek, som tok over i 2017.
