The International Football Club Rostock (IFC) existed from 1899 to 1913. In May 2015 the International Football Club Rostock eV was re-established.

The historic IFC

On August 15, 1899, the international football club was founded in Rostock. The founding members consisted mainly of male schoolchildren, students and prospective businesspeople who came from England, Holland and South America. During their training they lived in the pension of the English language teacher John Boyes. The oldest report on a football game between IFC and Rostocker FC (RFC) dates from the same year and dates from 1895. The club members also devoted themselves to other sports such as athletics, tennis and ice hockey. The club colors were black and yellow.

In October 1900 the IFC invited the other Mecklenburg soccer clubs to play the first state championship. The IFC won the final 1-0 against the RFC. In 1905 the club joined the Mecklenburg Football Association . In the 1909/10 season, the IFC won the Mecklenburg Championship and reached the first round of the North German Championship for the only time.

In 1912, games took place on the club's own sports field for the first time, but this had to give way to the construction of a clinic . In 1913 the club members began to build a new playing area on the sports field Am Waldessaum (formerly: An der Trotzenburg ), which still exists today . In the same year the IFC was renamed the Rostock Sports Association from 1899.

In 1914 it merged with the Rostock gymnastics cooperative to form the Rostock gymnastics and sports club from 1899 , which the Rostock men's gymnastics club from 1860 also joined in 1919 . In 1923, with the separation of the gymnastics division ( clean divorce ), it was renamed the Rostocker Sportverein from 1899 . In 1938 he became part of the Rostock gymnastics and sports comradeship , which was declared dissolved in 1945.

On a sporting level, the club was active in the championships of the Mecklenburg Football Association and the Lübeck-Mecklenburg Football League . The greatest success in the club's history was the final round of the North German Football Association reached by the second Mecklenburg Championship in 1909 , in which Rostock lost 2:12 to Holstein Kiel in the quarter-finals .

Founded in 2015

In May 2015 the International Soccer Club Rostock eV was newly founded. The club played for two years in the 2nd district class Warnow, where they became champions in the 2017/18 season. As the only football club in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania that appears openly left-wing politically, it was repeatedly a topic in national media. The international FC Rostock tries, among other things, to integrate refugees. The club has over 300 members, two men's teams, one women's team, an over 35 team, a darts group and roller derby.
