Greifswalder SV 04 is a German association football club from the city of Greifswald, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. The club was formed out of the merger of SSV Grün-Schwarz Greifswald, ESV/Empor Greifswald, and Greifswalder SV 98. In addition to its football side the club has departments for athletics, badminton, basketball, dance and rhythmic gymnastics.
The merger of the three clubs made SV the second-largest club in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania with some 1400 members. The club has a strong focus on youth football and has links to a number of area schools. It also is a DFB-affiliated training centre and has sent on several players to FC Hansa Rostock and state select teams.
Greifswalder SC
Until the end of the 2002–03 season, the biggest club in Greifswald was Greifswalder SC, who played in the NOFV-Oberliga Nord from 1991 until 2002. The club merged in 2003 with ESV Greifswald for financial reasons and thereby dissolved. Through ESV, Greifswalder SV 04 is therefore carrying on with SC's tradition. SC played its last game on 31 May 2003, beating SV Blau Weiss Polz 5–2.[1]
The new club played in the tier five Verbandsliga Mecklenburg-Vorpommern until 2007 when a league championship took it up to the NOFV-Oberliga Nord. It finished fourth in the league in its first season there but then declined and was relegated again in 2010. Since then the club has been playing in the Verbandsliga again.[2][3]
