Rasensportverein Meinerzhagen 1921 e.V.[1] is a German football club from Meinerzhagen in North Rhine-Westphalia. Founded in 1921, the team plays in the Westfalenliga in the sixth tier of the German football league system.
History
The club was founded in 1921.[2] The team rose from the Bezirksliga (district league) in the 1960s, reaching the Verbandsliga, which was then the third tier. Managed by former Borussia Dortmund and Germany national team player Erich Schanko, they missed out on promotion to the Regionalliga in 1965–66 by coming second.[3]
In April 2021, with the Oberliga season having been abandoned due to the COVID-19 pandemic, RSV Meinerzhagen withdrew from the division for financial reasons. In the previous season, the team had been in second when the season was abandoned for the same reason, but missed out on promotion by average points per game to Rot Weiss Ahlen, who had two games in hand.[7]
