11 Freunde

German sports magazine

11 Freunde (German for 11 friends) is a monthly German sports magazine.

The magazine was founded in 2000 by Reinaldo Coddou H. and Philipp Köster. Köster is also its editor-in-chief. It is published monthly in Berlin.

The magazine sees itself within the tradition of English football magazines like When Saturday Comes, or the German Der tödliche Pass.

The magazine's name was inspired by a quote from a football tactics book by Richard Girulatis (1920): "Elf (11) Freunde müsst ihr sein, wenn ihr Siege wollt erringen", which can be translated as if you want to win, you have to be eleven friends.

Since 2010 a jury elects the best footballing actors every year. Player, manager, coaching team, newcomer, character, referee, fan initiative of the year.
