The SV Pullach is a German association football club from the town of Pullach, Bavaria.

The club's greatest success came in 2013 when it qualified for the southern division of the Bayernliga, the fifth tier of the German football league system.

History

The club was formed on 6 August 1946 and, for most of its history, has been a non-descript amateur side in local Bavarian football.^[1]

SVP won promotion to the tier seven Bezirksliga Oberbayern-Süd in 1994 and played three seasons in this league, struggling against relegation in the first two and winning the league in the third.^[2]

The Bezirksliga title took the club up to the Bezirksoberliga Oberbayern where it would play for ten of the next eleven seasons. Its first stint of seven seasons was crowned with two fourth place finishes but a 16th place in 2004 meant relegation back to the Bezirksliga. It immediately rebounded with another title at this level and, this time, became a stronger side in the Bezirksoberliga. After a third and a fourth place the club won this league in 2008 and earned promotion to the Landesliga Bayern-Süd.^[3]

The club finished third in the Landesliga in its first year but declined after this to a point where it came 15th in 2011–12. This would have been a relegation rank in most other seasons but the expansion of the Landesliga from three to five division allowed the team to remain at this level and enter the new Landesliga Bayern-Südost.^[4] Pullach became the first ever champion of this league in 2013 and earned another promotion, now to the Bayernliga.^[5]

In its first season there the team came fifth in the southern division of the Bayernliga,^[6] followed by a runners-up finish the season after. Because of a lack of a suitable Regionalliga stadium the club declined to participate in the promotion round to the Regionalliga Bayern.
