SV Seligenporten is a German association football club from Pyrbaum, Bavaria. It is part of a sportsclub established 23 July 1949 which also has departments for handball, Ju-Jitsu, horseback riding, dancing, singing, and women's recreational sport.
The footballers first rose above amateur level in Middle Franconia when they earned promotion to the Landesliga Bayern-Mitte (V) in 2004. The enjoyed a successful 2006âÂÂ07 campaign that saw them beat FC Augsburg II 3âÂÂ0 on their way to a 1âÂÂ0 win over Würzburger FV in the final of the Bavarian Cup. This earned the club an appearance in the opening round of the DFB-Pokal (German Cup) where they were eliminated 0âÂÂ2 by Bundesliga side Arminia Bielefeld.
In the 2007âÂÂ08 season, a second place in the Landesliga allowed the club to move up to the Oberliga Bayern. Like with their promotion in 2004, they finished runners-up to the FSV Erlangen-Bruck.
SVS experienced a difficult 2008âÂÂ09 season and had to continue its fight for Bayernliga survival in the post-season, having finished on equal points with Würzburger FV (14th) and TSV Rain am Lech (16th) and therefore requiring a set of deciders to be played. After losing to Rain 5âÂÂ1 and beating Würzburg 4âÂÂ0, the team had to face FC Affing in the promotion/relegation round. A 3âÂÂ0 victory over Affing put the club into the final, where it faced SpVgg Landshut and won 1âÂÂ0, retaining its Bayernliga status.
At the end of the 2011âÂÂ12 season the club managed to finish in the top nine of the Bayernliga and thereby directly qualified for the new tier four Regionalliga Bayern. After three seasons in the league, with a seventh place in 2014 as its best result, the club finished seventeenth in 2014âÂÂ15 and was relegated from the league but won the Bayernliga Nord in 2015âÂÂ16 and made a direct return to the Regionalliga where it played until relegation in 2018.
