The Spielvereinigung 1903 Neu-Isenburg is a sports club from Neu-Isenburg in the Offenbach district , which its supporters also call Die 03er or Die Spielvereinigung . Although the club is practically a pure football club with around 400 members, it is also connected to a lawn power sports department. Under the name VfL 03 Neu-Isenburg, they were already one of the strongest teams in South Hesse in the late 1920s and early 1930s. In the post-war decades, SpVgg 03 was consistently represented in higher-class football between the second and fourth level. In 1954 and 1956 the club reached the final of the German amateur championship twice , winning the title in 1956 as the greatest success in the club's history. In the first years of the 21st century the team fell temporarily to the district class A, but soon returned to the Hessenliga .

By the First World War , FK Viktoria had developed into the strongest force within the Huguenot city , but the only greatest success was the championship of the C-Class in Südmaingau in 1911. In 1919, two New Isenburg clubs appeared in the new top division, the Südmain district league with Viktoria and FV 1903 . In 1922, a year after the two clubs merged to form VfL, the Neu-Isenburg team won the championship of their regional league season and only narrowly failed in the final for the South Main title after a decider Germania 1894 Frankfurt . When the previous upper classes were combined to form the Main District League through a reform in 1923, VfL Neu-Isenburg was initially left out. As early as 1926, however, the promotion succeeded, and in the first season 1926/27 , VfL took fifth place in the single-track District League Main behind FSV Frankfurt, Eintracht Frankfurt, Kickers Offenbach and Rot-Weiß Frankfurt, in the four following seasons until 1931 twice third and runner-up in his season.

Despite these good placements, VfL Neu-Isenburg never achieved supraregional successes during this time, and when the Gauligen were introduced as the new top division in 1933 as part of the National Socialist league reform , the club was left out because it was in favor of the new Gauliga Südwest / Mainhessen only the top three of the district league Main-Hessen, Staffel Main, qualified and the VfL 1932/33 only ranked 5th. Now only second class in the district class, a series of attempts at promotion followed, all of which failed despite well-known players such as the former Waldhöfer Engelhardt . Only after the merger with local rivals SV 1911 in 1938 and a war-related reform of the Gauligen did the club, which now appears as SpVgg 03, once again make the leap into the top class: in 1942, they were promoted to the Gauliga Hessen-Nassau and stayed there until gaming in 1944 had to be stopped due to the war.

After the war, the Neu-Isenburg started in the second-class state league Großhessen-West. As early as 1946, they were on the verge of promotion to the Oberliga Süd , but the championship was withdrawn from them because of the use of a player who was not eligible to play. In the following years due to league reforms downgraded to the third division, the team from Buchenbusch 1952/53 under coach "Teddy" Debus achieved promotion to the 1st amateur league of Hesse with a 5-3 win in the decider against Germania Fulda and the following year the runner-up behind Borussia Fulda . Since Fulda waived, SpVgg 03 took part in the German amateur championship the following year . In this competition, the team, now supported by ex-national player Erwin Schädler , pushed through to the final with a 3-2 win after extra time over VfB Friedrichshafen in front of 20,000 spectators on Bornheimer Hang in the playoff of the semi-finals, where TSV Marl-Hüls , however, was up against clearly defeated. In the 1955/56 season, the Schädler-Elf became champions of the 1st amateur league Hessen with 14 points ahead of the second, Germania Wiesbaden , survived the subsequent promotion round without losing points and thus rose to the second league south . Another highlight of the season was winning the amateur championship in the same year, which was won by a 3-2 win in the Berlin Olympic Stadium in front of up to 45,000 spectators - the match served as a prelude to the final of the German championship between Dortmund and Karlsruhe - over VfB Speldorf secured. The Weinroten were then part of the 2nd League South for seven years, until the league was reformed in 1963 when the Bundesliga was introduced.

In the substructure of the Bundesliga, the Regionalliga Süd , relegation followed after the first season in 1963/64 . The club then played in the amateur league of Hesse until 1974 and from 1975 to 1977. In 1967 the game association qualified again for the German Amateur Championship and reached the semi-finals in this competition. As a state division, the club entered the main round of the DFB-Pokal in 1983/84 and reached the second round with an away win at Arminia Hannover , but was then eliminated by a 0-1 defeat against 1. SC Göttingen 05 .

The most difficult time for the club began with relegation from the regional league after the 1999/2000 season. The club got into financial difficulties and rose to the Offenbach-West district league. However, the game association was able to recover in the meantime and achieved through a sporting upswing initially again the district league Frankfurt-East, in the 2007/08 season, the promotion to the Association League Hesse South succeeded . In the 2016/17 season, Spvgg 03 Neu-Isenburg was 2nd in the Association League Hessen Süd and qualified for the Hessen League via the promotion round against Zeilsheim and SSV Sand. In 2019, the game association rose again.
