SpVgg EGC Wirges is a German association football club from the city of Wirges, Rhineland-Palatinate.[1]

History

Spielvereinigung Eintracht Glas-Chemie Wirges was formed 1 July 1972 through the merger of Sport Club Wirges (1924), Sportverein Rot-Weiß Keramchemie Siershahn (1921), and Sportverein Ebernhahn (1949). Through the late 1970s and early 1980s the club played third division football in the Amateurliga Rheinland and Amateur Oberliga Südwest where they earned unremarkable results. SpVgg EGC made appearances in the opening round of the DFB-Pokal (German Cup) competition in 1978 and 1979. Through the balance of the 1980s and into the 1990s the team played lower division football, highlighted by their third DFB-Pokal appearance in 1991. The club advanced to the Oberliga Südwest in 1994 for a two-year stint, and returned to the league once more in 1998, where they remained for many years as a mid-table side. During this time, the team also made another appearance in the DFB-Pokal in 2003.

The club's fifteen seasons in the Oberliga came to an end in 2013 when it was relegated back to the Rheinlandliga.
