History

FC Unterföhring was formed on 6 March 1927.[1]

For most of its history the club has been a non-descript amateur side in local Bavarian football. The club rose to the highest level of football in Upper Bavaria for the first time in 2004, when it won promotion to the tier six Bezirksoberliga Oberbayern by winning the Bezirksliga Oberbayern-Nord.[2] Unterföhring spend the next six seasons in this league, generally achieving good results. In 2009–10 the club was able to win the league and earn promotion to the Landesliga Bayern-Süd.[3]

In the Landesliga Unterföhring achieved an excellent fourth place in its first season there but came only 12th in 2011–12, the last season of the league's existence.[4] This finish was however enough to advance to the promotion round to the expanded Bayernliga. The club managed to defeat TSV Bad Abbach and FC Ergolding in the knock-out rounds and earned the right to compete in the Bayernliga for the first time in 2012–13.

In the new league Unterföhring finished seventh in its first season there and tenth the season after.

The club finished second in the 2016–17 season and was promoted to the Regionalliga Bayern after champions, SV Pullach, were declined promotion. However, it finished in last place in its first season in the Regionalliga and was relegated straight back to the Bayernliga.
