VfB meaning: This stands for the abbreviation
The abbreviation VfB is most common in sports clubs. But VfB can also stand for an association.
VfB in the name of a sports club
In everyday life, VfB is most associated with sports clubs. The abbreviation can have these meanings: Club for Ball Games, Club for Movement Games and Club for Popular Sports.
- Many football clubs have VfB in their names. The abbreviation stands for club for ball games or club for movement games like (for example VfB Stuttgart). Even if the word ball only has one meaning, both variants are mainly associated with football clubs. This is also due to the fact that football is the most popular sport in Germany.
- If a sports club does not have a football department or does not define this area, VfB means club for mass sports - for example at VfB Chess Leipzig eV
VfB on behalf of an association
You rarely come across the abbreviation VfB in relation to associations. It mostly stands for association for office management. However, there are also these options:
- The Association of Free Building and Soil Experts (VFB eV) is a German professional and industry association. You can recognize the association by the fact that the letter "F" is capitalized.
- The Federal Association of Professional Caregivers (BVfB), formerly the Association of Freelance Caregivers (VfB), takes care of senior citizens who can no longer make decisions independently.
