FC Phönix Bellheim is a German association football club from the city of Bellheim, Rhineland-Palatinate. Established on 11 February 1921 the club did not come to note until after World War II when they were part of the Amateurliga Vorderplatz (III) from 1947–52 and the Amateurliga Südwest (III) from 1952–62.[1] Phönix took part in play for the German national amateur title in 1962 and 1969, advancing as far as the semifinals in their first appearance before being put out 0:1 by eventual champions SC Tegel.

History

Following the 1963 formation of the Bundesliga, Germany's professional first division, Bellheim became part of the Regionalliga Südwest (II) where they earned lower table results until finally being relegated in 1967.

After four seasons in the Amateurliga Südwest they won the division title in 1971 and had a successful promotion playoff to win their way back to the Regionalliga. They fared poorly there and were sent down after a 16th-place result in 1973. Their descent continued following a 13th-place finish in Amateurliga play. Between 1985–92 the team was part of the Verbandsliga Südwest (V) and, for a while competed in the Bezirksklasse Vorderpfalz/Süd (IX) before dropping to the B-Klasse Südpfalz in 2013.

A championship at this level allowed the club promotion back up to the ninth tier in 2014, now renamed A-Klasse Südpfalz.
