VfL Engelskirchen

VfL Engelskirchen is a German sports club from Engelskirchen, Cologne established in 1883.

It is best known for its women's handball team, which reached the Bundesliga in 1979. Engelskirchen was the 1982 Bundesliga's runner-up and three years later it reached the final of the 1985 DHB-Pokal. The following year was the team's most successful season as it won the DHB-Pokal for the first time, was the championship's runner-up[1] and also reached the final of the 1986 EHF Cup Winners' Cup, lost to Radnicki Belgrade.[2] In 1988 Engelskirchen won its second national championship,[3] but the following year it had to renounce to top-flight for financial reasons. Nowadays it plays in regional categories.
