The SB/DJK Rosenheim is a German association football club from the city of Rosenheim, Bavaria. Apart from football, the club also offers other sports like tennis, basketball and American football, the latter in the form of the Rosenheim Rebels.

The club is best known for its former ice hockey department, which it took over in 1978 after the insolvency of local ice hockey Bundesliga side EV Rosenheim, and which won three German championships, in 1982, 1985 and 1989.[1] The team, now playing as the Starbulls Rosenheim, has since left the club to become an independent organisation.[2]

As a football club, Sportbund has had far less success, with a single season in the tier-three Fußball-Bayernliga in 1978–79 its greatest achievement. For the 2011–12 season, the club returns at this level for a second time, with the Bayernliga now being a tier-five league.
