VfL Fosite Helgoland

Football club From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

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]
