The FC Civics Windhoek (Civics) is a Namibian football club based in Windhoek. The Civics play in the highest division of Namibian football, the Namibia Premier League. The club has its home in Khomasdal, in the north of the Namibian capital Windhoek.

They play their home games at Sam Nujoma Stadium in Katutura, Windhoek.

History

FC Civics were founded by a group of young students in 1983, who initially named the team after a local street – Bethlehem Boys. The club later became the Mighty Civilians before being recast again as Civics. Even today, the bulk of the squad comes either from Khomasdal or the neighbouring township of Katutura.

The club rose from a useful street team to Namibia's top league with the help of Helmut Scharnowski, from from the northern German city of Flensburg.

From 2000 until 2007, the club was also known as Buschschule Civics.[1]
