Formed in 1918, VfB Friedberg first reached the highest level of play  in the region in 1922 when it played for a season in the tier one Kreisliga Nordmain, alongside clubs like Eintracht Frankfurt and FSV Frankfurt. Relegated again immediately it returned to top level football in 1932, now to the Bezirksliga Main-Hessen. This league was replaced by the Gauliga Hessen when the Nazis came to power in 1933 and "VfB's" most successful area began, lasting until the start of the Second World War in 1939. The new league did not include the strong clubs from Frankfurt, instead "VfB" played against clubs from Kassel and Fulda and finished runners-up  in the league in 1934. In 1937 it qualified for the first round of the German Cup, losing 0–2 to SV Waldhof Mannheim, but with the outbreak of the war it had to withdraw from league football. Post war play saw the club compete in the tier two Landesliga Hessen and, when this league was replaced by the Amateurliga Hessen in 1950, in the latter. The first couple of seasons were spent as a mid-table side but, in 1957, the club finished runners-up and in the season after won the league. "VfB" won promotion to the 2. Oberliga  Süd where it lasted for only one season in 1958–59 before dropping back to the Amateurliga. The next four seasons the club gradually finished lower and lower and was eventually relegated from the league in 1963, making a permanent departure from Hesse's highest league. Since then the club has played in regional amateur football, nowadays playing in the tier eight Kreisoberliga Friedberg. Honours. The club's honours: Recent seasons.
