The SSV Glött is a German association football club from the town of Glött, Bavaria.
The club spent almost its entire history as an amateur side in the leagues of the Schwaben football league system. Glött's most notable moment came in 1978 when, after having won the Schwaben Cup and qualified for the first round of the DFB Pokal (German Cup), the team met FC Bayern Munich and lost 5–0 in front of 8,000 spectators in Gundelfingen.
Two years later, the side earned promotion to the tier-four Landesliga Bayern-Süd but lasted for only one season at this level and has remained within the leagues of Schwaben ever since.
The SSV Glött was formed on 28 May 1949 and entered league football in the following year. In 1951, the club was granted permission to adopt the crest of the Fugger as its club logo, Glött having once been one of the territories owned by the trading family.
The club did not make it out of the bottom two divisions of local league football until 1975, followed by a title in the A-Klasse in 1977 that granted the side entry to the tier-five Bezirksliga.
The club's greatest moment came when it won the Schwaben Cup for the first and only time by beating SV Ober-Germaringen 6–4 on penalties in Lauingen. The side then qualified for the first round of the German Cup and played its home game at near-by Gundelfingen. Despite Glött's lowly league status, Bayern fielded a strong side against the amateurs, with players like Paul Breitner, Karl-Heinz Rummenigge and Gerd Müller in the team. Glött was 3–0 behind after 18 minutes but then managed to stem the tide and concede only two more goals, both through penalties.Bayern's lackluster performance in the cup match was heavily criticised in the newspapers the following day, especially in the face of coach Gyula Lóránt having demanded 20 goals to be scored against the amateurs.
