Fußballclub Askania Forst first came to prominence in the 1909–10 season, advancing to the regional Südostdeutschland final where they were beaten 1:3 by VfR Breslau.

The result stood despite a protest by the Breslauer side and Askania moved on to the opening round of the national championship where they were put out (2:3) by eventual finalists VfB Leipzig.

In the final season before regular competition was interrupted by World War I, Forst won the last of its three regional titles.

Once domestic competition resumed after the war, Forst made one more appearance in the Südostdeutschland playoffs and bowed out 0:1 to Vereinigte Breslauer Sportfreunde in a semifinal match.

The team continued to compete through the interwar period, but was lost in the aftermath of World War II.
