SV Elversberg is a German football club, located in Spiesen-Elversberg, Saarland.

History

The club was founded in 1907 as "FC Germania Elversberg". It was dissolved in 1914, but then re-constituted in 1918 as "Sportvereinigung VfB Elversberg". After World War II a number of local associations came together to form "Sportgemeinde Elversberg". The current club became independent of "SG" as "SV Elversberg VfB 07" in 1952. From 1951 to 1960 "SV" played in the Amateurliga Saarland (III), but then disappeared into tier IV and V football until 1980 when they re-emerged in the Amateur Oberliga Südwest (III) for a span of seven seasons. After nearly another decade spent between the Verbandsliga Saarland (IV) and the Landesliga Saarland/Nordost (V) the club returned to tier III football in the Regionalliga West/Südwest.

Since 1998, "SV Elversberg" has played in the Regionalliga Süd (III) as a lower table side. For the 2008-09 season, the club moved to the new Regionalliga West.
