Sportgemeinschaft Dynamo Dresden e.V., commonly known as SG Dynamo Dresden or Dynamo Dresden, is a German association football club based in Dresden, Saxony.[1] They were founded on 12 April 1953 as a club affiliated with the East German police[2] and became one of the most popular and successful clubs in East German football, winning eight league titles.[3]
After the reunification of Germany, Dynamo played four seasons in the top division, Bundesliga, from 1991 to 1995,[3][4] but have since drifted between the second and fourth tiers.[5] Since being relegated from the 2. Bundesliga at the end of the 2021–22 season, the club has competed in the 3. Liga.
The club's traditional uniform colours are gold and black, derived from the official city flag and the coat of arms of the city of Dresden.
