FC Bremerhaven is a German football club located in Bremerhaven, Free Hanseatic City of Bremen.
The club was founded 1 June 1899 and soon merged with VfB 1899 Lehe to become FC Bremerhaven-Lehe which was represented at the founding of the DFB at Leipzig in 1900. In 1917 FC merged with SC Sparta Bremerhaven to become Bremerhaven-Lehe SC Sparta, until in 1919 VfB left to resume play as a separate team.
After World War II occupying Allied authorities ordered the disbanding of most organizations in Germany, including sports and football clubs. A combined Bremerhaven side was formed late in 1945 as SG Lehe-Nord which was re-named ATS Bremerhaven in 1947. Two years later in 1949 SC Sparta Bremerhaven re-established an independent club out of ATS, followed by the the re-establishment of VfB Lehe in 1953. ATS took on its original identity as FC Bremerhaven in 1992.
The club's best recent appearances have been in the Regionalliga Nord (III) in 1994-95 and 1999-2000 and in the Oberliga Niedersachsen/Bremen (IV) through the late 90s and in 2000-01 and 2002-03. They currently play in the Verbandsliga Bremen (V).
