The soccer section went through a separate development. Even as SV KVP Vorwärts, the first men's team was also integrated into the fourth-class Rostock district league in 1956 as the 13th team . After an 8th place at the end of the season, the team, which was now called ASK Forward, profited in 1957 with 3rd place before the increase in the 2nd GDR League to five seasons and played in third class from 1958. However, the Rostockers were not prepared for this task, as they were third from bottom of their season they had to relegate at the end of the season. A year later, the team achieved immediate promotion as district champion, in 1960 the team surprisingly achieved second place in the northern relay of the 2nd GDR league, and Vorwärts Rostock was promoted to the 1st GDR league in 1962 with the same rank . Karl Pöschel , who had come to the forward team from SC Empor Rostock in 1961 after 93 league games in 1961, made a significant contribution to this success . Overall, the football section had gained strength, which was also made clear by winning the district championship by the Vorwärts Rostock II reserve team in 1962 and subsequent promotion to the 2nd GDR league. After the abolition of this league, the second team then played again in the district league.

During the 1962/63 season, the soccer section was spun off from ASK Vorwärts Rostock and converted into the independent Army Sports Association (ASG) Vorwärts Rostock-Gehlsdorf. The first team was able to firmly establish itself in the first GDR league and in 1965 achieved their best placement with third place.

After the end of the football season 1966/67, ASG Vorwärts Rostock was relocated to Stralsund as part of further restructuring within ASV Vorwärts and started as ASG Vorwärts Stralsund from the 1967/68 season . Vorwärts Rostock-Gehlsdorf was re-established in Rostock in 1971, but no longer appeared nationwide. After the reunification, the team went up in the Rostocker SV Sturmvogel, which was dissolved in 1993.
