After the club was dissolved in 1945, former members founded the SG Zwickau-Süd . After several mergers and spin-offs, the BSG Progress Zwickau was created , which played lower class during the GDR era. The soccer team could never qualify for the third or fourth class district league Karl-Marx-Stadt .

After German reunification , the members of the BSG Progress Zwickau founded the soccer club FC 02 Zwickau , which is supposed to build on the soccer tradition of SG Zwickau and FC 02 Zwickau. The club currently plays in the 2nd district class in Zwickau .
