Encyclopedia
The SpVgg Stegaurach is a German
association football club from the town of Stegaurach
, Bavaria
. Apart from football, the club also offers other sports like basketball
and tennis
.
The club's most notable achievement was its promotion to the tier four Fußball-Bayernliga in 1996, where it spent five seasons until 2001, with a second place finish in 1999–2000 as its best result.
In 1993–94, the club came third in the Bezirksoberliga Oberfranken
, not usually a spot good enough for promotion, but because of the introduction of the new Regionalliga Süd
(III), additional promotion spots were available that year. In its first season in the Landesliga Bayern-Nord
(IV), the side came third, followed by a title in the following year, which entitled the club to promotion to the Bayernliga (IV).
Stegaurach adapted well to the Bayernliga, coming ninth in its first year. From there, the club improved season by season, finishing fifth, fourth and second in the following years. In the 2000–01 season however, the team's performance was abysmal, with the club coming last and being relegated from the Bayernliga again.
Back in the Landesliga, SpVgg found itself in immediate relegation trouble, to which it succumbed in the second year there. The club spent three seasons in the Bezirksoberliga Oberfranken again before another third place finish allowed the side to move up once more.
Back in the Landesliga for two seasons, the club was unable to repeat its performance of the mid-1990s. Instead, it struggled against relegation again and was sent down to the Bezirksoberliga after two years in 2008. Stegaurach was handed straight through the league, coming 16th and last in 2008–09 and dropping to Bezirksliga level. After a 16 year absence, the club has returned to the Bezirksliga Oberfranken-West, where it continues its struggle and today plays as a lower table side.
