History

Formed in 1998 SV Schwetzingen made a brief appearance in the tier one Kreisliga Odenwald from 1920 to 1922.

In post-Second World War football SV Schwetzingen earned promotion in 1947 to the northern division of the Amateurliga Nordbaden, then the second tier of the league system. It qualified for the unified Amateurliga in 1948 but was relegated from the league in 1949. SVS returned to the Amateurliga which had now slipped to third tier in 1950 and finished runners-up in the league in 1952 but was relegated again in 1955. The club made an immediate return in 1956 but suffered another relegation in 1958. Schwetzingen won another promotion to the Amateurliga Nordbaden in 1963 and won the league in its first season back but failed to win promotion to the Regionalliga. It remained in the league as an upper table side for the remainder of the 1960s but declined during the 1970s, on occasion coming close to relegation. The club however survived and, in the last season of the Amateurliga in 1977–78 missed out on qualification to the new Oberliga Baden-Württemberg by just a point. [1]

SVS became something of a fixture in the new Verbandsliga Baden, playing in this league or the league above, the Oberliga, for the next twenty five seasons. A runners-up finish in 1982 took the club up to the Oberliga for the first time but it was immediately relegated again. The club qualified for the DFB-Pokal in 1984 after its second North Baden Cup win, the first having come in 1969, but lost 1–2 in the first round to Alemannia Aachen. [2] Two season later, in 1986, a league championship in the Verbandsliga moved the club up again and, this time, it survived for seven seasons. The club had a particularly successful era between 1988 and 1991 when it finished in the top four of the Oberliga in three consecutive seasons. It declined after this and, in 1993, was relegated once more. [1]

Schwetzingen played the next ten seasons in the Verbandsliga, generally as an upper table side, achieving six top four finishes in this time. In 2002–03 however the club could only finish fifteenth in the league and was relegated from the top league of North Baden for the first time in four decades. Three seasons in the Landesliga followed before a runners-up finish in 2006 took the club back up to the Verbandsliga. Schwetzingen came close to Oberliga promotion in 2013 once more when it finished runners-up but lost in the promotion round to FV Ravensburg. Since then the club continues to play in the Verbandsliga. [1] [3]
