SV Heimstetten is a German association football club based in the Kirchheim district of Munich, Bavaria.

History

The club was founded in 1967 and in addition to a football team has departments for basketball, gymnastics, Judo, table tennis, tennis, and volleyball.

The footballers played in lower-tier competition until winning promotion to the Bezirksliga (VII) in 1993 and the Bezirksoberliga Oberbayern (VI) in 1998. The club continued its steady rise with an advance to the Landesliga Bayern-Süd (V) in 2003, followed by a 2006 promotion to the Oberliga Bayern (IV) where they played until 2008, when a 17th-place finish meant relegation for the club.

After another Landesliga title in 2010, the club moved up to the Bayernliga once more. At the end of the 2011–12 season the club managed to qualify for the promotion round to the new Regionalliga Bayern, the lowest placed club in the league to do so, and advanced to the second round after defeating SpVgg Landshut in a penalty shoot-out. In this round the club managed to defeat Würzburger FV on away goals and thereby advanced to the new Regionalliga, the only Bayernliga team to do so through the play-offs.^[1] The club finished an outstanding fifth in the new league in 2013 but struggled against relegation all season the following year, eventually finishing 14th and surviving in the league for another season.^[2] The 2014–15 season saw the club finish fifteenth and having to enter the relegation round against the Bayernliga runners-up. The club lost against FC Amberg and were relegated. They returned to the Regionalliga in 2018.

The club is affiliated with the Deutschland Fußball Canadian Academy, based at Heimstetten.^[3] It also had reserve team goal keeper Ngemba Evans Obi called up for the Nigeria national football team in 2008.^[4]
