FC Obermais

The local amateur football club, which was founded in 1972, has a long tradition. He is best known for the loyal fan base (Curva Sud), which has existed since 2005. From 2000 the club recorded a steady increase in performance, which led to the fact that FC Obermais rose twice in a row and thus played in the highest regional amateur league. The team stayed there for six years before relegating them back to the national league in the 2012/13 season. The soccer field on which the club plays its home games is called Lahn .
