history

Logo of the South German Football Association from 1914 to 1927

The predecessor of today's SFV was founded on October 17, 1897 in the inn "Zum Landsknecht" in Karlsruhe by eight football clubs under the name of the Association of Southern German Football Associations . In 1898 the first statute was adopted and Friedrich Wilhelm Nohe was elected first chairman. The first championship was held in 1898/99.

The association participated in the establishment of the DFB on January 28, 1900. This was followed by disputes with the DFB about the game system and the organization of game operations, on which the VsFV, as the association with the largest number of members, wanted to influence accordingly.

On 18./19. July 1914 the name was changed to Süddeutscher Fußball-Verband .

Ivo Schricker was chairman from 1923 to 1925 . On November 13, 1927, the merger with the Southern German Association for Athletics was decided. The new name of the association was the South German Football and Athletics Association .

On August 6, 1933, the association was dissolved.

Founding associations

Structure of the association from 1919

On the first post-war association day of the SFV on 30./31. August 1919 in Heilbronn a new organization was made for the new beginning. From then on one played with nine circles in four groups:

  • North group
    • Central Main District
    • West Main District
  • East group
    • Southern Bavaria district
    • District of Northern Bavaria
  • South group
    • Swabia district
    • Baden district
  • West group
    • Neckar district
    • Rhine district

Since the Palatinate was occupied by French troops, the Rhine district finally had to be divided into two districts in order to avoid the difficulties of travel, the Odenwaldkreis and the Pfalzkreis.

The ten district champions then played the South German championship in a final round, the champions of which finally took part in the German championship .

The association was champions of the Federal Cup , the predecessor of the countries Cup .

Oberliga Süd and re-establishment of the SFV in 1949

The Oberliga Süd was founded after the Second World War in 1945 as the first football league in Germany. The "Association of South German Football Clubs", founded on September 22nd, 1945 took over the further organization, whereby there was strong friction with the newly founded Bavarian Football Association . Until the introduction of the Bundesliga in 1963, the Oberliga Süd was one of five seasons of the top division in German football in the field of the DFB .

The South German Football Association was re-established after the Second World War on December 19, 1949. However, it had lost a lot of its influence, as the following state associations now existed as subordinate associations:
