The Hessian Football Association (German: Hessischer Fußball-Verband), the HFV, is one of 21 state organisations of the German Football Association, the DFB, and covers the state of Hesse.
The Hessian FA is also part of the Southern German Football Association (German: Süddeutscher Fußball-Verband), the SFV, one of five regional federations in Germany. The other members of the SFV are the football associations of Baden, Bavaria, South Baden and Württemberg. The SFV is the largest of the five regional federations and based in Munich.
Football in Southern Germany, and thereby in Hesse was originally administrated by the Süddeutscher Fußball-Verband, which was formed on 17 October 1897 in Karlsruhe, then under the name of Verband Süddeutscher Fußball-Vereine. The new federation soon began to organise a regional football competition, the Southern German football championship, followed by a league system a few years later.
In November 1927, the federation merged with the Southern German track and field association, forming a much enlarged federation, the Süddeutscher Fußball- und Leichtathletik-Verband - SFLV.
With the rise of the Nazis to power in 1933, the federation received the order from Berlin to disband itself in March 1933. On 6 August 1933, the SFLV held its last general meeting, in Stuttgart, where the order to disband was officially carried out. The financial liquidation of the federation was completed in 1942.
