Source-derived summary

Deutscher Sportverein Victoria was a football club from Zemun (nowadays Serbia), Belgrade. Local Germans from Zemun and other parts of Syrmia mainly played for the club.

History

This squad was founded before 1939, and competed in the unfinished 1941 football championship of the Independent State of Croatia.

In that season, the club took 8th place, the penultimate position. In the 1942 Croatian First League, Victoria ended the competition in the first group stage. Victoria finished last in Group C, behind squads from Osijek Hajduk, HŠK Građanski Osijek, Radnik Osijek and city rival Građanski.

After the end of the Second World War, the club was disbanded, as it was the case with other clubs that competed in the championship of wartime Croatia.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

“DSV Victoria Zemun” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Victoria, Zemun and foodball provides the most credible route into that argument.

Evidence profile

Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 14, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q5206208. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1939, 1941 and 1942.

Critical limits

Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Use the entry as an orientation point, then follow its citations and revision history. Names, dates and institutional relationships should be checked against the original record.
