The merger of the three clubs made SV the second-largest club in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania with some 1400 members. The club had a strong focus on youth football and had links to a number of area schools. It also had a DFB-affiliated training centre and had sent on several players to FC Hansa Rostock and state select teams.

In March 2015 the club decided to merge with FC Pommern Greifswald to form Greifswalder FC.
