Association Football[]

Nagold's football program was founded in 1911 and is the largest sports department in the club. They currently have over 400 registered players, of which approximately 300 are in their youth program, which has been the club's main focus in football since the 1990s, when they made the decision to switch to a player development focus, bringing in Walter Baur to run the football program.[3]
