Verein für Rasenspiele 1907 Schweinfurt e.V., called VfR 07 Schweinfurt, VfR Schweinfurt, or simply VfR 07, was a German association football club established in Schweinfurt (Bavaria) in 1907. The club dissolved in 2015 after it had gone bankrupt.
VfR Schweinfurt experienced a number of successful years from the late 1930s to the early 1940s. The club appeared in the top-tier Gauliga Bayern for four seasons overall, and made it into the second round of the German Cup in 1940. After the Second World War, VfR 07 was not able to play any decisive role on the national level.
The club's home games were held at Stadion am Hutrasen in Schweinfurt from 1928 on.
The football club was founded in May 1907 as 1. FV Viktoria 1907 Schweinfurt. After a fusion with FC Union 1909 Schweinfurt in May 1926, it obtained its name, lasting until 2015. In 1928 the team moved to Hutrasen, which was expanded to become a football stadium with a capacity of 6,000 (1941).
The club gained first class status with promotion to the top-tier Gauliga Bayern in 1939. The team finished 9th in the 1939–40 season, achieving its best position during the single division Gauliga era. Again in 1940, VfR Schweinfurt reached the second round of the German Cup (Tschammerpokal), where it lost to 1938 cup winner and later German football champion SK Rapid Wien. After it was relegated in 1941, the club returned to Gauliga Bayern - now split into a northern and a southern division due to the Second World War - for a further two years in 1942.
