Vereinigte Breslauer Sportfreunde was a German association football club from what was at the time the city of Breslau, Lower Silesia in Germany and is today Wroclaw, Poland. The club was established in 1919 through the merger of predecessor sides SC Preußen Breslau and Verein Breslauer Sportfreunde. They dominated play in the regional Südostdeutschland league in the period immediately following World War I.
Sportclub Preußen Breslau was established 15 December 1902 and made a single appearance in the regional Südostdeutschland (I) championship round in 1913. After qualifying through a 1:0 victory over Britannia Posen they went on to face Askania Forst in a semifinal contest. They lost the match 1:2, but the result was annulled and the game replayed. The rematch ended in another 2:1 victory for Forst which stood. After World War I the team merged with Verein Breslauer Sportfreunde.
SC 1904 Breslau was established in 1904 and took the name Verein Breslauer Sportfreunde in 1911. They advanced to the league final in 1913–14: they beat Beuthen 09 3:2 in qualifying before eliminating Viktoria Forst 2:1. In the final they were beaten 1:3 by old rival Askania.
World War I severely curtailed football competition in Germany, which was suspended or local in character between 1914 and 1919. Following the conflict, VBS became the dominant side in Südost regional play. They again beat Beuthen in qualifying (5:1) before avenging themselves on Askania through a 1:0 semifinal victory. The team then claimed the division title by way of a 6:2 win over Viktoria Forst. The title win advanced Breslau to the national stage. They defeated Union Oberschöneweide 3:2 in the quarterfinals before going out 4:0 to SpVgg Fürth. The club's 1920–21 campaign ended in another divisional title win through a 2:1 victory over Viktoria, but they suffered another early exit from the national playoffs when beaten 1:2 by Wacker Halle.
