SV Elversberg Colors, Facts and History

SV Elversberg history

Spiesen-Elversberg, a municipality in the state of Saarland, is where this club calls home. Its official title is Sportvereinigung 07 Elversberg e. V., and that 07 points straight at 1907, the year things began. Most people shorten it to SV Elversberg, or simply Elversberg.

For well over a century the club worked its way up, and the reward came when the 2025-26 season ended: promotion into the Bundesliga, the highest level in the German league pyramid. That puts Elversberg on the same schedule as the giants of German football, playing them home and away. Matchdays happen at the Waldstadion an der Kaiserlinde, with a listed capacity of 10,000. Compared with the huge arenas elsewhere in the division, that is a compact setting where every supporter sits close to the grass. For a side from Saarland, reaching the top tier marks the biggest step in its long story so far.
