Association of Munich Football Clubs

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Association of Munich Football Clubs (VMFV) was a local football association in the Bavarian capital of Munich . It was probably founded in 1901, but "suspended indefinitely for reasons of local nature" in the same year.

In contrast to other major German cities such as Berlin, Hamburg / Altona, Bremen, Cöln or Frankfurt, the development of football in Munich (as in all of Bavaria) was very slow in the early years. Although the first Munich soccer clubs were formed in 1896 with "Terra Pila" and FC Nordstern and a few more were added in addition to soccer departments at gymnastics clubs, overall very little had happened in relation to regular games in Munich by the turn of the century. After all, an arbitration college was formed as early as February 1901.

Since the VMFV was suspended, FC Bayern Munich announced a cup competition for Munich clubs with the FC Bayern Cup in the seasons 1901/02 (as the unofficial Bavarian championship) and 1902/03 . Due to inactivity or possible interim dissolution of the Association of Munich Football Associations, a competing association was founded on October 9, 1903 with the Munich Football Association (MFB), which announced a championship in the same season. When tensions arose in the MFB between the pure football clubs and the gymnastics clubs with a football department, three previous member clubs resigned in September 1904 and re-founded the VMFV on October 7, 1904. In the 1904/05 season, the first championship was organized in two divisions and in 1905/06 the last championship took place. The now four member clubs all took part in the league games in the Munich Football Association in the following season. The Association of Munich Football Associations thus dissolved in the summer of 1906, but still appeared in 1910 as its official organ under the title of the sports newspaper "Der Rasensport".
