History
After almost 50 years of comparably insignificant existence, SC Verl advanced to the Landesliga Westfalen (IV) in 1970. Since then, SC Verl relegated only once (in 2003), qualified for newly-introduced higher-class leagues three times out of four, won their league twice, and played the promotion round for 2. Bundesliga once (in 1991). Had they advanced, SC Verl would have been the smallest town ever to field a German pro football team, but they fell short of that goal. Their second bid for advancing to pro football was the 1994/95 season, when they finished second in the newly-formed Regionalliga Nord (III), six points behind neighboring rival Arminia Bielefeld.
