Futsal Club Regensburg (FCR) is a German futsal club based in Regensburg. The first team currently plays in the Futsal-Bayernliga, which is the second tier of futsal in the German futsal league system.
FCR is renowned for being a pioneer for the development of futsal in Germany and has arranged many futsal courses. Founded in 2011, it is the oldest futsal club in Bavaria and a founding member of the first Bavarian Futsal League.[1] The club started as a university team and reached the final of the 2013 German Futsal University Championships, where they lost 9-3 to former DFB Futsal Cup winners Muenster.[2] In the 2015-16 Bayernliga season, FCR qualified for the promotion playoffs to the Futsal-Regionalliga Süd, but were eliminated in a two-legged semi-final encounter by eventual winners SSV Jahn Regensburg.[3] The first team was dissolved at the end of the 2015–16 season after many players had left the club to nearby rivals SSV Jahn Regensburg and TV Wackersdorf.[4] The club restarted in the Futsal-Bezirksliga for the 2016-17 season and finished first in their division to qualify for the division playoff final, where they were beaten by SV Schwarzhofen.[5]
