TuS Jahn Werdohl
In 1926, Jahn Werdohl's footballers were promoted to the then first-class district class South Westphalia . After several years of mediocrity, the team reached the final of the South Westphalia Championship in 1932 after a 4-1 playoff victory over Germania Mudersbach , where the Werdohl team had to admit defeat to SV Hüsten 09 . A year later, the team missed the newly created Gauliga Westfalen . In the meantime, their own stadium was destroyed by flooding from the Lenne . After the end of the war , the Jahn footballers were assigned to the district class and secured the championship in 1950. This was followed by two years in the short-term 2. Landesliga Süd , before Werdohler moved up to the Landesliga Westfalen after a league reform in 1952 , the highest amateur league at the time. There succeeded in the season 1952/53 relegation only after playoffs against VfL Gevelsberg .
Three years later, the team achieved the best placement in tenth place, but missed the qualification for the newly created Association League Westphalia . 1957 followed the descent to the district class, where the Werdohler in the years 1959 and 1960 were each runner-up behind the SV Hohenlimburg and the SV Heggen . In 1966 the Jahn footballers relegated to the district class, but managed to get promoted again directly. Finally, in 1973, they were promoted to the regional league, where the Werdohl team immediately became runner-up behind VfB Altena . In the following years, the team slipped into the table cellar and finally had to relegate in 1978. With the introduction of the Oberliga Westfalen , the Werdohlers slipped down two league levels. In the following season 1978/79 succeeded the direct promotion to the national league.
