SC Idar-Oberstein is a German football club from the town of Idar-Oberstein, Rhineland-Palatinate. The club was created in 1971 out of the merger of 1. FC Idar, established 1 January 1907 as SC Alemannia Idar, and Sportvereinigung Idar formed in 1908. The club currently has departments for football, athletics, and women's gymnastics, as well as youth football and recreational sport.
History
1. FC Idar was a moderately successful amateur club in the years leading up to and following World War II playing in the highest level regional amateur league through the 20s and into the early 30s. Following the war they joined the 2.Oberliga Südwest (II) where they competed briefly until being sent down in 1954. SV Idar remained a lower tier local club during this time.
Despite the 1971 merger, newly formed SC performed poorly through the rest of the decade and on into the late 80s. An effort by a group of former players revitalized the club and a series of division championships led Idar out of the Bezirksliga Nahe (VII), through the Landesliga SW-West (VI) and Verbandsliga Südwest (V), and on to the Oberliga Südwest (IV). The team captured the SWFV-Pokal (Southwest Cup) in 1998, and in 1999 made its first appearance in DFB-Pokal (German Cup) play. They also won their way to the third division Regionalliga West/SW that year, but were overmatched and quickly relegated. Since then Idar has played as a fourth or fifth tier team and currently plays in the Oberliga Südwest (IV).
