The SG Quelle Fürth is a German football club from the city of Fürth in Bavaria.
The club was formed as the football section of the athletics club TV 1860 Fürth on 1 June 1973. The club's name, SG Quelle, refers to the fact that it has a strong connection with the Quelle company and originated out of the company's still existing Sunday League team BSG QUELLE Kickers.
The club was part of the lower amateur leagues in Middle Franconia until 1988, when it won promotion from the Bezirksliga Mittelfranken-Süd to the Landesliga Bayern-Mitte (IV). After four seasons where it struggled for survival in this league, SG Quelle was relegated back down, now to the Bezirksoberliga Mittelfranken in 1992. 1991 saw the arrival of Dieter Lieberwirth as the club's manager, a former long-term player of the 1. FC Nuremberg, a position he held until 2002, when he returned to Nuremberg.
The club only spent one season in the BOL before returning to the Landesliga. A better performance there saw it finish seventh there in 1993–94, taking out the league title the season after. Promoted to the Bayernliga, it finished second in this league, behind fellow promoted team SC Weismain. Both earned a place in the Regionalliga Süd for the following year. Fürth as the second placed team had to play-off against the runners-up from the Oberliga Hessen, Viktoria Aschaffenburg and from the Oberliga Baden-Württemberg, VfB Stuttgart II, to do so, defeating both teams.
