TSG Wörsdorf is a German football club from Wörsdorf, a municipality of Idstein, Hesse. It is the second oldest sports association in the district and is today the largest with a membership of nearly 1,000. In addition to a football side, TSG has departments for gymnastics and dance, table tennis, athletics, volleyball, and hiking.

The team has its origins in the gymnastics club TV Wörsdorf established on July 8, 1887. A football department was formed in 1921 and became independent within a year as SV Wörsdorf. The association all but disappeared after the rise to power of the Nazis in 1933 as it was assimilated by a larger community sports organization established by the regime. An independent club was re-established in 1945, after World War II, as TSG Wörsdorf/Taunus

The develpoment of a new sports facility in 1980 helped to motivate a drive to improve the football team. Playing in the local Kreisliga in the late 80s the footballers began a steady ascent that took them to the Landesliga Hessen (V) in 1993 and then on into the Oberliga Hessen (IV) in 2001 where they still compete today. The club's best results were consecutive 7th place finishes earned in 2005 and 2006.

Wörsdorf plays its home matches in the Stadion Wallbacherstraße which has a capacity of 3,000. The club colours are blue and orange.
