In May 2025, VfB Stuttgart won the DFB-Pokal in Berlin’s Olympiastadion. The very next day, the team returned home to Stuttgart to celebrate the victory together with their fans.
As a long-time VfB supporter, I knew I couldn’t miss this moment. It brought back memories of 2007, when I joined tens of thousands of fans at Schlossplatz to celebrate the club’s last Bundesliga title.
This time, the atmosphere was just as unforgettable—if not even bigger. More than 50,000 fans gathered in Stuttgart, cheering, waving flags, and singing as the team shared their triumph. For me, it was not only a chance to celebrate the win but also to capture the emotions, colors, and pure joy of being part of this historic day through my camera.
And just in case you’re wondering about this story’s title, have a look here. This was the fans’ Swabian theme, which roughly translates to “Nobody would have believed it – coming back home with the cup.”
