Bremer

Bremer SV was formed on 1 January 1906 as BBV Sport but renamed itself to the current name in 1920.

The club played at topflight Gauliga Niedersachsen several times: 1933 to 1935, 1939–40 and 1942 to 1944. In 1947 post-Second World War play the club became part of the new tier one Oberliga Nord and played there until relegated again in 1955. It returned to this league for a season in 1961–62 but was relegated to the Amateurliga Bremen, again. After the introduction of the Bundesliga in 1963 the club won promotion to the tier two Regionalliga Nord in 1965 but was relegated once more two seasons later. A new Oberliga Nord was established in 1974, now in the third tier and Bremer SV became a founding member but was relegated after one season. The club made two returns to the league, from 1978 to 1981 and 1986 to 1992. Since then the club has mostly been playing in the leagues of Bremen, unable to return to the higher levels.

The club won the Bremen-Liga in four consecutive seasons (2013–14 to 2016–17), but each time failed to win promotion in the play-off round. They were finally promoted to the Regionalliga Nord in 2022 after winning another Bremen-Liga title.

The club lost 12–0 to Bayern Munich in the first round of the 2021–22 DFB-Pokal.

The club is known for its humorous self-marketing and colourful and creative support from the stands. The fans tend to be politically left-leaning.
