History
[edit]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 the northern German city of Flensburg.[citation needed]
From 2000 until 2007, the club was also known as Buschschule Civics.[1]
In January 2025, it was announced that the club had been sold to a new ownership group and official rebranded to Bucks Buccaneers FC.[2]
