SC 08 Bamberg is a German association football club from the city of Bamberg, Bavaria.
The club experienced a stellar rise in the late 1980s and early 1990s, climbing from the tier six Bezirksliga to the third division Fußball-Bayernliga. It also made two appearances in the German Cup in this era, in 1991 and 1992. After two seasons in the third division however, the club declined and fell as quickly as it had risen, to the point where it now plays at the tenth level of the German football league system.
The club was established on 6 May 1908. Under the Third Reich sports organizations in Germany were reorganized for political reasons and in 1933 SC Bamberg was united with Sportfreunden Bamberg to play as Sportvereinigung 08 Bamberg. Following World War II, SC reemerged as a separate side on 23 March 1948. The team spent four seasons in the 2nd Amateurliga Bayern (IV) from 1954–58.
1. SC's rise began in 1988, when it was promoted to the Bezirksliga Oberfranken-West (VI), followed in 1989, when a second place in this league behind champions DJK/Viktoria Coburg, earned it promotion to the Bezirksoberliga Oberfranken. The club followed this up with a title in this league the season after and 1. SC's progress continued in the Landesliga Bayern-Nord (IV) in 1990–91, where the team won the league championship and earned promotion to the Bayernliga for the first time.
SC took part in the early rounds of DFB-Pokal (German Cup) play in 1991–92 and 1992–93. The club advanced all the way to the round of the last 16 in 1991–92, when it was able to defeat 1. FC Saarbrücken and TSV Havelse before losing 1–0 to 1. FC Kaiserslautern. In 1992–93, the club's cup run was not quite as impressive, being knocked out 3–1 by Eintracht Frankfurt in the second round.
