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.

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