The SpVgg Jahn Forchheim is a German association football club from the town of Forchheim, Bavaria. Forchheim is located in Upper Franconia but the club competes in the football leagues of neighbouring Middle Franconia. Apart from football, the club also offers other sports like tennis, badminton and volleyball.
The club's greatest success came in 1994, when it earned promotion to the tier-four Fußball-Bayernliga for the first time. After six seasons at this level in which the side always finished in the top half of the table, Jahn decided to voluntarily withdraw from the league in 2000.
