South German football championship 1898/99
The South German Soccer Championship 1898/99 was the first official competition decided by the Association of South German Soccer Clubs (VSFV) on October 2, 1898 in the Hotel Viktoria in Mannheim . The champions were the Freiburg FC .
The final round was played in cup mode. There were apparently eight participating clubs, the venues of the games are only partially known.
In Karlsruhe on July 23, 1899 a game for the city championship between the Karlsruher FC Phönix and the Karlsruher FV was played, which the KFV won 9-0. At the time, however, Phoenix was not a member of the VSFV.
In Mannheim, the clubs Mannheimer FC Viktoria 1897 , Mannheimer FG Union 1897 and Mannheimer FG Germania 1897 had joined the VSFV in 1898 . The oldest club in the city and founding member of the southern German association, Mannheimer FG 1896, as well as the Mannheimer FG Union took part in the championship round of 1898/99 and played the first association game against each other on October 16, 1898 on the parade ground of the FG 1896.

Private games as preliminary run 1897/98
Some of them became South German champions a year later.
Contrary to tradition, there was no South German soccer championship in 1897/98 . The clubs of the VSFV, founded in October 1897, only played private games, in which by the end of May the Karlsruhe FV was the most successful with eight wins in nine games.
The Freiburger FC had indeed on 13 February 1898 the PRR 7: added 2 whose only defeat, but even that was a friendly match and their first league title won the Breisgauer until January of the following year.
Unclear wording in the 1957 chronicle of the South German Football Association may have contributed to the error.
