Ahlener SG is a German football club from the city of Ahlen, North Rhine-Westphalia. The origins of the club go back to the merger of predecessor sides Spiel- und Sport 1905 Ahlen and Ballspiel Verein Westfalia 1906 Ahlen which played as SSV Westfalia 1905/06 Ahlen.

History

On 8 July 1970 the side was joined with Sportfreunde Wacker 1920 Ahlen to become Ahlener Sportverein and in 1972 advanced to the third tier Amateurliga Westfalen Gruppe 1 where they would spend the next half dozen seasons as an upper table side. SV's best result was a second place finish in 1976 before they crashed out of what had become the Amateuroberliga Westfalen after a 17th place result in 1978–79.[1]

SV merged with Handball Sportgemeinde 73 Ahlen on 25 May 1993 and competes today as Ahlener SG 93 which has departments for football, handball, water sports, volleyball, table tennis and fitness; the handball side plays in the 2.Bundesliga.
