[1] Following World War II all organizations across the country, including sports and football associations, were ordered disbanded by occupying Allied authorities.

This was manifested in football through the establishment of a league structure separate from the German Football Association (Deutscher Fußball Bund), the appearance of the region's top sides in French competition, and the formation of a national side that took part in qualification play for the 1954 FIFA World Cup.

Mettlach fielded competitive sides through the late 1950s and early 1960s, earning a string of top-three finishes in third- and fourth-tier play.

Mettlach made appearances in the opening rounds of the DFB-Pokal (German Cup) in 1985 and 1994.

The team slipped to what had become the fifth-tier Verbandsliga Saar in 2002, and recently won its way back to Oberliga play for 2008–09 but lasted for only one season before being relegated down to the new Saarlandliga.
