From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
SV Wacker Burghausen is a German football club based in Burghausen, Bavaria and is part of one of the nation's largest sports clubs with some 6,000 members participating in two dozen different sports.
[edit] History
The club was founded on 13 November 1930 and was made up largely of employees from the local chemical factory Wacker Chemie, which was established in 1914, and still sponsors the club today. The footballers won the East Bavarian championship just three years later in 1933, but then afterwards toiled in anonymity in the local lower level leagues until 1993 when they won the Landesliga Bayern-Süd (V) title, followed by the Oberliga Bayern (IV) championship two years later, which advanced the club to the Regionalliga Süd (III). In 2002-03, the team played its way into the Second Bundesliga where they competed until being relegated at the end of the 2006-07 campaign.
Wacker earned a seventh place finish in the Regionalliga in 2007-08, which qualifies the team for the new 3rd Liga next season. It finished the 2008-09 season in 18th place, on a relegation rank but was saved from having to step down to the Regionalliga by Kickers Emden withdrawing from the league.[1]
[edit] Reserve team
The Wacker Burghausen II team played in the Bayernliga (IV) from 2005 to 2007, making Burghausen one of the few clubs to have had both first and second teams play at this level. The reserve team finished 6th in the Landesliga Süd (V) in the 2007-08 season and will remain in this league for the coming season.
