FC Viktoria 09 Urberach is a German association football club from the city of Rödermark, Hesse. ==History== The club was formed on 24 December 1909 but only entered competitive football in 1914.〔(Viktoria Urberach Vereinsgeschichte ) Club history , accessed: 16 October 2008〕 In the years after the First World War, the club gradually improved, opening its new playing field in 1921 and winning the local cup competition in 1924. In 1926, a first league championship was archived and in 1930, the club won promotion to the ''Bezirksliga Main-Hessen'', then the highest football league in the region, where it competed with clubs like FSV Mainz 05 and Wormatia Worms. ''Viktoria'' spent the next three seasons in this league but in 1933, when the new ''Gauliga'' system was introduced, it failed to make the cut for the ''Gauliga Südwest/Mainhessen''. After the Second World War, the club quickly returned to its status as a strong local amateur side, earning promotion to the ''Bezirksklasse Darmstadt'' in 1948. The club then proceeded to the ''2nd Amateurliga Hessen'', from where it gained promotion to the ''Hessenliga'' (III) in 1957, the highest league in the state. In 1958, the club won the ''Hesse Cup'' and finished third in the ''Hessenliga'', a strong achievement for the newly promoted side. ''Viktoria'' however could not maintain this quality of play and quickly slipped to the bottom half of the table in the coming seasons, resulting in relegation in 1961, when it was even placed behind local rival ''KSV Urberach''. The club was not part of the new ''Landesliga Hessen-Süd'' in 1965, when it was formed as the tier below the ''Amateurliga Hessen''. Instead, a long spell in the lower amateur leagues followed which was only broken in 2002, when the club achieved promotion to the ''Bezirksoberliga Darmstadt'' (VI). From there, it moved up to the ''Landesliga Hessen-Süd'' in 2005. After two seasons of mid-table finishes in this league, the club earned promotion to the ''Hessenliga'' in 2008 on the strength of a second place, returning to the highest amateur league in Hesse for the first time in 47 years.〔(HL 8.

Its performance weakened somewhat after that but it nevertheless finished in a very respectable third place.〔(Hessenliga 2008–09 ) Weltfussball.de, accessed: 16 October 2008〕 On 12 October 2008, ''Viktoria's'' goalkeeper Jürgen Hoffelner collided with a player from the opposition team, 1. FC Eschborn, and had to be saved by the team doctor from suffocating due to having swallowed his own tongue and was taken to the hospital in Frankfurt, where he was put into an artificial coma. The game was cancelled by the referee after this incident.〔(Jürgen Hoffelner bei Zusammenprall schwer verletzt ) Sporttreffer.de , published: 12 October 2008, accessed: 16 October 2008〕 At the end of the 2012-13 season the club was relegated in unfortunate circumstances, having had to deregister its reserve team during the season and being consequently deducted six point for this breach of rules, which pushed the club onto a relegation rank.〔(Hessenliga 2012/2013 - 34.
