After the club had problems attracting enough players in the early years, the team was promoted to the national league in 2003. Two years later he was promoted to the Middle Rhine League, which, however, was followed by direct relegation. Already in the following season 2008/09 the promotion succeeded.

Back in the Middle Rhine League, the first women's team was runner-up in 2012 and 2013, behind Fortuna Cologne and the second team of 1. FC Cologne . Finally, the first women's team became champions in 2015 and rose to the regional league. In season 2016/17 the descent followed, but the Cologne city could by a 2: 1 win the Middle Rhine Cup victory over Fortuna Cologne. Vorwärts Spoho qualified for the DFB Women's Cup for the first time. There the team lost in the first round against the second division club 1. FFC 08 Niederkirchen with 1: 3. This was followed by a direct rise and third place in the 2018/19 regional league season .
The second women's team made it to the Middle Rhine League in the 2016/17 season. A third women's team entered the race for the 2017/18 season.
