Welcome to the Club Homepage of
German Football in Shanghai

    It is my great pleasure to welcome you – players, guests and fans alike – to the 16th season of Shanghai Krauts FC –
    we are all looking forward what the season 2001-2011 will bring.

    Shanghai Krauts FC remains as one of the oldest and renowned amateur football club in Shanghai. Some say roots of the
    club trace back to the first German arriving in Shanghai in 1885 it was only in 1995 that the Shanghai Krauts were
    officially associated with the Shanghai International Football League as one of its founding member. Though German in
    tradition and virtues, the club has blended in players from all over the world with about 20 different nationalities
    passing through by now.

    Regular training sessions throughout the entire year are complemented by competition matches in the Shanghai league,
    international tournaments (marking Asian Championship in Bangkok 2009 as best result), Bundesliga-viewing and lot of club
    parties. So, feel free to join the club to get full loads of it all!

    With growing numbers of club members and in a drive to serve all players interests and football ambitions best, it was
    2006 that the club has formed a second team under the Krauts umbrella.

    If you feel that your football skills have just missed the critical hurdle to be a professional player and you are
    committed to assist the club in battling for the crown of SIFL Premier League every Saturday then join the
    Shanghai Krauts.

    In case the “speed factor”, “age factor”, “weight factor” or simply your “personal preference factor” leaves you to take
    on the league competition in more leisurely fashion, learn more about the Shanghai Sauerkrauts.

    Either way, we are looking forward to welcome you and that you enjoy great times with the lads!
