VfL Fosite Helgoland is a German
football and multi-sport club located on the
North Sea island of
Heligoland. Due to the island's remoteness and high travel expenses, the club does not play in the
German football league system, but it does play friendly matches and tournaments against visiting teams.[2] The low population of Heligoland (under 1,400 people) poses a challenge for player recruitment.[2][3]
VfL Fosite Helgoland is a member of the
Hamburg Football Association[4] and is known to have participated in the
Hamburg Cup in the past.[2][5] However, it has not played in an official competition for many years.[6]
CONIFA Membership
The club was formerly a member of
CONIFA and sought to represent Heligoland in international competition, but left the organization in 2017 without having played any matches.[7][8]
