History

The Stuttgart Giants formed in 2017 by the merger of two AFLG clubs from Baden-Württemberg, the Stuttgart Emus and Freiburg Taipans. The club began playing in the AFLG in 2018. From 2019 the club was a department of the SSV Zuffenhausen and in 2023 they switched to the Sportvereinigung Feuerbach 1883 e.V. [2] [3]

Grounds

The club's trainings grounds are located in Wilhelm-Braun-Sportpark in Stuttgart-Feuerbach. Home matches were previously played at the Eberhard-Bauer-Stadion in nearby Esslingen but are now exclusively held at the Wilhelm-Braun-Sportpark. [4]

National League

The Stuttgart Giants actively compete in the German national league. From April to October each year, they play against the other teams across Germany in a series of home and away games.

The Stuttgart Giants' women's team currently plays together with the Heidelberg Knights and Franfurt Redbacks women's teams as the 'Southern Giants'.
