As in many parts of Germany, football is the most popular sport in Stuttgart which is home to 'The Reds' and 'The Blues'. 'The Reds', [[VfB Stuttgart]], are the most famous and popular local club. An established team currently playing in the German [[Bundesliga]], VfB was founded in 1893 and has won five German titles since 1950, most recently in 1992 and 2007. VfB is based at the [[MHPArena]] in Bad Cannstatt.

'The Blues', [[Stuttgarter Kickers]], are the second most important football team; their most successful years date back to the time when young Jürgen Klinsmann started his career as forward in their team. They currently play in the [[Regionalliga Südwest]] (fourth division) at the smaller [[Gazi-Stadion|Gazi Stadium]] close to the [[Fernsehturm Stuttgart|TV tower]] in Degerloch.

Other lower-division football teams are ''Sportfreunde Stuttgart'' – most famous for taking part in the [[Sir Thomas Lipton Trophy]] in 1908, considered the first ''World Cup''<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.rsssf.org/tablesl/lipton-trophy.html |title=Lipton Trophy |publisher=Rsssf.com |date=20 November 2004 |access-date=14 October 2018 |archive-date=3 March 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160303205133/http://www.rsssf.com/tablesl/lipton-trophy.html |url-status=live }}</ref> – and FV Zuffenhausen.
