The '''TSF Ditzingen''' is an association football club in Germany. It is located in the city of Ditzingen, in Baden-Wurttemberg.

==History== The club was formed on 2 July 1893 under the name of '''TV Ditzingen'''.<ref>{{usurped|1=[https://web.archive.org/web/20020726162201/http://www.abseits-soccer.com/clubs/ditz.html Abseits guide to soccer&nbsp;– TSF Ditzingen entry]}} accessed: 18 October 2008</ref> However, it did not have a football department until 1920.<ref>[http://www.tsf-fussball.de/archiv.htm TSF Ditzingen website _history of the club] {{in lang|de}} accessed: 18 October 2008</ref> The club changed its name in 1919 to '''TSVgg Ditzingen''' after a merger.

The club existed for most of its life as an undistinguished amateur club, lingering in the lower divisions of Württemberg football. The club fluctuated between ''Kreisklasse A'' and ''Kreisklasse B'' in those years, the local fifth and sixth division. Only in 1950 could it briefly gain entry to the tier-four ''2nd Amateurliga''.

It began its rise to prominence in the mid-1980s when a couple of quick promotions took the ''TSF'' from the tier-eight ''Kreisliga B'' to the tier-three ''Amateuroberliga Baden-Württemberg'' in 1991. One of the players in this team was Fredi Bobic, who later played for Germany internationally.<ref>[http://www.weltfussball.de/spieler_profil/fredi-bobic/ Fredi Bobic profile on Weltfussball.de] accessed: 18 October 2008</ref> Bobic was the ''Oberliga Baden-Württemberg'' top-scorer in 1991–92, playing for the ''TSF'', with 19 goals.<ref>''Amateur-Oberliga Statistik 1991–92'', publisher: DSFS, published: 1992, page: 7, accessed: 18 October 2008</ref>

In 1993, the club managed to win the Württemberg Cup, beating SV Böblingen 3–2 in the final. This allowed the ''TSF'' to take part in the 1993–94 DFB-Pokal, where it lost to Hansa Rostock 0–2 in the second round.<ref>[http://www.weltfussball.de/teams/tsf-ditzingen/hansa-rostock/11/ TSF Ditzingen .:. Die Bilanz gegen Hansa Rostock] Weltfussball.de, accessed: 18 October 2008</ref>

In three seasons in the ''Oberliga'', the club did well enough to qualify for the new ''Regionalliga Süd'', which was formed in 1994. Initially, in this new league, Ditzingen performed well, too, finishing 6th and 5th in its first two seasons. In the 1994–95 season, Sean Dundee scored 24 goals for the team and came second in the ''Regionalliga'' scorer list.<ref>''Die Regionalligen 1994–95'', Yearbook of German amateur football, publisher: DSFS, published: 1995, accessed: 18 October 2008</ref>

From 1996, the club declined however, having to struggle against relegation instead. When, in 2000, the number of ''Regionalligas'' was reduced from four to two, the ''TSF'' failed to make the cut, having finished only 15th in the league.

With the end of the club's "miracle" rise, it was handed down through the ''Oberliga'' within two seasons to the ''Verbandsliga''. After 2008, the club went into free fall, suffering three consecutive relegations and ending up in the tier-nine Kreisliga A Enns/Murr in 2011–12. It won promotion back to the Bezirksliga for a season but was relegated back down to the Kreisliga A in 2013 and the Kreisliga B in 2015. Ditzingen went up to the Kreisliga A the next year but came down again after the season, becoming a yo-yo club.
