__TOC__

History

"Spielverienigung Eintracht Glas-Chemie Wirges" was formed 1 July 1972 through the merger of "Sport Club Wirges" (1924), "Sportverein Rot-Weiß Kerachemie Siershahn" (1921), and "Sportverein Ebernhahn" (1949). Through the late 70s and early 80s the club played third division football in the Amateurliga Rheinland and Amateur Oberliga Südwest where they earned unremarkeable results. "SpVgg" made appearances in the opening round of the DFB-Pokal (German Cup) competition in 1978 and 1979. Through the balance of the 80s and into the 90s the team played lower division football, making their third cup appearance in 1992. "Eintracht" advanced to the Oberliga Südwest in 1994 for a two year stint and won its way back to the fourth tier after a two season absence, where the club has since played as a mid-table side.
