The Pforzheim Wilddogs are an American Football team from Pforzheim in Baden-Württemberg, Germany. As its greatest success, the club reached the German Football League, the highest level in Germany, by having won the GFL2 South 2024.

History

The Wilddogs were formed in 1990 in Bretten a town 20 km north of Pforzheim.[1] In 2000 they moved to Pforzheim.

In 2023 the Wilddogs played for the first time in the GFL2 and finished with a forth place in mid-table. One year later, Pforzheim won the championship of the GFL2 South. Since there was a vacant spot in the GFL South they got promoted without playing a play-off-game.[2]
