The Club Oppelner Sportfreunde 1919 (VOS) was a German sports club from the Upper Silesian city ​​of Opole . It was founded in 1919 and was active until the end of World War II. In 2011 the club with the name Oppelner Sportfreunde 1919 Oberschlesien was reactivated as a sports club of the Germans in Upper Silesia .

history

The club was founded on February 28, 1919 as the club Oppelner Sportfreunde 1919 and belonged to the Southeast German Football Association . The club colors are blue and yellow. In 1924/25 the club played in the Gauliga of the southeast German football association , Gruppe Oberschlesien, and came third out of five teams. Due to the consequences of the war and the resulting award of Opole to Poland, the association expired in 1945.

reactivation

The German minority in the Opole region has been using the traditional name "Oppelner Sportfreunde" since 2011, in which they use this name for sporting activities of their own groups - expanded for marketing reasons as "Oppelner Sportfreunde" Oberschlesien "1919". The club was reactivated on the initiative of the DFK Kandrzin. The selection of the German minority from Poland at Europeada , the European football championship for national and ethnic minorities, will start under this name in 2012 in Lusatia , Saxony . The historical coat of arms has been expanded in such a way that instead of the “V” for association, the founding year 1919 stands in the same place, while a ring encloses the triangle. In the three semicircular fields that are created in this way, Opole, Sportfr. And Upper Silesia are written.

Miro football schools

After the Europeada, the rights to the name were transferred to the German Education Society, which operates the German soccer school “Miro” for minors. The management of these sports schools is now run under the name Sports Academy OS 1919 .
