In 1926 the HSC 02 was then the season winner, but lost the final of the southern district championship against Arminia Hannover with 1: 2. As runner-up, the HSC had to play a qualifying game for the North German finals, which they won 6-2 against Bremer SV . In the final round of the North German Championship , the Hanoverians were able to win 2-1 against Altona 93 after a 1: 2 opening defeat against Hamburger SV and were chosen by the sports press as the “secret favorite”.

In 1928 the HSC 02 reached the finals of the district championship again, but failed there at Hannover 96 . In addition, the team reached the final for the district cup three times in a row between 1924 and 1926.

The FV Sports Hanover was also part 1919 of the founding members of the Südkreisliga, but played mostly against relegation. After the merger with SV Rot-Weiß , which did not make it into the top division, the team was able to establish itself in the midfield of the league. In the years 1926 and 1927 the FV Sport reached fourth place. In the first season of 1928/29 under the new name Spielvereinigung 1897 they reached the North German Championship.
