SpVgg Unterhaching II
Encyclopedia
The SpVgg Unterhaching II is the reserve team
of German
football
club SpVgg Unterhaching
, from the Unterhaching
suburb of the city of Munich
, Bavaria
.
At times, the team played under the name of SpVgg Unterhaching Amateure but since 2005, it carries its current name. In the 2009-10 season, the team plays in the tier-five Oberliga Bayern
after relegation from the Regionalliga Süd
in 2009.
With the rise of the first team, the fortunes of its reserve side improved, too, the side leaving the Munich amateur leagues for the first time in 1990, when it won promotion to the tier-six Bezirksliga Oberbayern-Ost.
The team remained a mid-table side, with the exception of a runners-up finish in 1992, until 1996, when it won the league and earned promotion to the Bezirksoberliga Oberbayern
.
In the Bezirksoberliga, Unterhaching II played for three seasons before earning another championship and being promoted to the Landesliga Bayern-Süd
in 1999. In this league, the team became a promotion contender in its first season, but in the end finished third, outside the ranks that would have allowed it to move up. In its second year, it managed a second-place finish and earned promotion through the promotion round, entering the Bayernliga for 2001-02.
The first three seasons in the Bayernliga, the team performed quite well, earning upper-table finishes. From 2005, its performances fell off, culminating in a thirteenth place in 2006-07.
With the introduction of the 3rd Liga
in 2008, the 2007-08 season held a special opportunity for the clubs in the Bayernliga, the top four teams in the league were to be promoted to the Regionalliga Süd
to make up for half of this league moving up to the new third division. Unterhaching II was never really in contention for those four spots, finishing ninth in the league that year. When however the league champions SpVgg Bayreuth
were refused a Regionalliga licence and the Sportfreunde Siegen
had to withdraw from the Regionalliga, two additional teams were admitted from Bavaria to this league. 1. FC Eintracht Bamberg
, fifth placed, took up one spot but none of the clubs on the places six to eight had applied or been granted a Regionalliga licence and therefore Unterhaching II was admitted to the league for 2008-09.
Not helped by this late addition, the team fared poorly in the 2008-09 season, coming a distant last, twenty points clear of a non-relegation rank, only equal to fellow promoted side and struggler TSV Großbardorf.
In 2010-11, the team plays in the Bayernliga once more. However, independently of the teams final placing in the league in 2011-12, it will be relegated unless the first team qualifies for the 2nd Bundesliga as reserve teams of 3rd Liga sides are not permitted in the Bayernliga anymore from 2012.
