About us

The Stadtsportbund Bielefeld e.V. is the umbrella organisation for organised sports in Bielefeld, representing local sports clubs and sports federations. As a non-profit registered association, it performs coordinating, advisory and supportive functions. It also represents the interests of sports in relation to politics, public administration and the wider public. The organisation combines voluntary structures with a full-time executive board and an administrative office.

At the heart of its work is a broad understanding of sport: sport is not seen solely in terms of competition or performance, but also as a contribution to education, social participation, personal development and healthy communites and society. Its aim is to enable as many people as possible in Bielefeld to access physical activity, games and sports.

The Stadtsportbund Bielefeld is therefore more than simply an administrative body or an interest group representing sports clubs. It acts as a central interface between organised sports, volunteering, education, youth welfare, health, social participation and municipal development. Its role is to create favourable conditions for physical activity, games and sport, to strengthen clubs in their work, and to harness the diverse social potential of sports for the city of Bielefeld.
