Rheinland Lions

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Rheinland Lions is an Australian rules football club based in the cities of Düsseldorf and Cologne, western Germany.

The Düsseldorf Lions were formally established for league play in early 2004, competing in the Australian Football League Germany. Previously, they had competed on an irregular basis, their first appearance being a tournament called the Rhein Cup on the 31st August 2002 against Berlin Crocodiles and Frankfurt Redbacks. They also hosted the 2004 CEAFL Championships.

As of late 2005, the Lions changed their name to the Rheinland Lions - as a large proportion of their playing squad live in the nearby cities of Cologne or Bonn rather than Düsseldorf. They have also for this reason started playing their home games in Cologne. Cologne and Düsseldorf have a traditional rivalry and the name change to a neutral title may help avoid these rivalries in regional recruiting efforts.

For their first match they wore the black rugby jumpers from the Düsseldorf Dragons Rugby Club. Their current guernseys are red and white, featuring the Düsseldorf city coat of arms (a lion holding an anchor).
