history

The AFC Stuttgart Silver Arrows e.

Since then, the club has been one of the big names in American football in Baden-Württemberg.

In 2007 and 2018, the Silver Arrows each achieved a perfect season , i.e. a season without a league defeat.

After a few years of varying success, the club last held its own in the 2nd Bundesliga ( GFL2 ).
