FC Viktoria 1889
Germany · Founded: 1889
FC Viktoria 1889 Berlin is a German football club based in the Lichterfelde district of Berlin. The current club was formed in 2013 through a merger between BFC Viktoria 1889 and Lichterfelder FC, combining a historic legacy with a modern structure. Despite the recent formation, its roots date back to the late 19th century, making it connected to one of the oldest football traditions in Germany.
The historical predecessor, BFC Viktoria 1889, was one of the dominant teams in early German football and won national championships in 1908 and 1911. It played an important role in the development of the sport in Berlin and across Germany. After various reorganizations and changes over time, the club eventually merged with Lichterfelder FC, creating a new entity that inherited both tradition and a large football structure.
In modern football, Viktoria Berlin has competed mainly in the lower tiers of German leagues, with notable moments such as winning the Regionalliga Nordost in 2020–21 and earning promotion to the 3. Liga. The club is also known for having one of the largest football departments in Germany, with many teams and members. Although it has faced relegations and challenges, it remains a historically significant club with ambitions to grow within the German football system.
