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.
Lotte on viimase kümnendi jooksul kiiresti tõusnud läbi Saksamaa liigasüsteemi. 2016. aastal võitsid nad Oberliga Niedersachseneri ja tõusid Regionalligasse. Järgmisel aastal jõudsid nad Saksamaa karika teise vooruni, kus kaotasid Bundesligaklubile VfL Wolfsburg.
Lotte mängib oma kodumänge Lotter Kreuzkampfbahnil, mis mahutab 10 059 pealtvaatajat. Klubi värvid on sinine ja valge.
Lotte on tuntud oma tugeva noorteakadeemia poolest. Klubi on välja toonud mitmeid talente, sealhulgas Kai Havertz, kes mängib praegu Chelseas.
Lotte on ambitsioonikas klubi, kes loodab jätkata oma tõusu Saksamaa liigasüsteemis. Klubi eesmärk on jõuda lähitulevikus Bundesligasse.
