history

The club, which was founded in the spring of 1912 as the Oberwart sports club in what was then Hungary , is the oldest football club in the state of Burgenland that still exists today. Until 1974, when SC Oberwart merged with ASK Oberwart to form today's SV Oberwart, there were two football clubs in the city. In the inter-war period, ASK Oberwart was once named Burgenland regional champion in 1933. In the second republic, the club became the state's record champions with a total of 13 titles, six of which were won by the SC before and seven by the SV after the merger.

The club celebrated its greatest successes in the 1980s and 1990s when it made the jump to the First Division , the second highest level in Austria, twice - in 1984 and 1992 . In 1984 the ascent was followed by descent. After the second promotion in 1992, the club was able to hold in the first division until 1996.

After relegation to the Regional League East, the club had to accept another descent to the Burgenland regional league in 1998. In 2002, Oberwart was crowned champion there, but had to return to the regional league the season after next and played there for the next eight years. It was not until 2012, a few weeks after its 100th anniversary, that the club celebrated a safe national league title and the return to the third-class regional league east. There the climber played a sovereign first season, which he finished with 41 points and in 9th place. In the first third of the 2013/14 season Oberwart was in the middle of the table, but then got into the relegation battle and rose back to the Burgenland League as the penultimate with 9 points behind on the saving rank 12 .

The club only stayed there for one season, as he was immediately promoted to the Regionalliga Ost.
