FC Alsterbrüder (full name Fußball-Club Alsterbrüder von 1948 e.V.) is a football club from the Hamburg-Eimsbüttel district in the eponymous borough. The first team was promoted to the fifth-tier Oberliga Hamburg in 2023.
FC Alsterbrüder was founded in 1948 as the Canoe-Club Alsterbrüder-Victoria. The name is based on a club of the same name founded in 1910, which in turn was a merger of the water sports department of the SC Victoria and the Canoe-Club Alsterbrüder. The renaming to the current name took place in 1954, after the water sports department had left the club.[1]
The teams of FC Alsterbrüder always played in the lower Hamburg amateur leagues until the first men's team were promoted to the Landesliga Hammonia at the end of the 2021/22 season. It was the first time the club played at the sixth-tier level.[2] With a win against Hausbruch-Neugrabener Turnerschaft two matchdays before the end of the 2022/23 season, they managed to gain promotion to the Oberliga Hamburg.[3] FC Alsterbrüder also reached the semi-finals of the Hamburger Pokal, where they were eliminated 0:7 by the Oberliga side TSV Sasel.[4]
The home ground of FC Alsterbrüder is the Walter-Wächter-Platz in Eimsbüttel, named after the resistance fighter Walter Wächter. In 2018, club members had pushed through the renaming of the previously Gustav Falke-named sports facility due to Falke's nationalist and anti-French positions. The Emilie-Wüstenfeld-Gymnasium is located in the immediate vicinity and shares the use of the sports ground.
