Right after Covid, in February 2022, we were seeking ways to get back to our friends and community. That’s when Ravindra Chand, Manish Karki, and others came up with the idea of starting football in Stuttgart. 

Football in Stuttgart had started earlier too. Shamim Akhtar organized games every now and then, but it was not regular. Even an attempt to take part in NRNA cup 2018 was made by Anupam Aryal and friends. But there were not enough players. 

As per request from Ravindra Chand, Raman Paneru made the first call on 18th February 2022 for regular Sunday Football. On 20th February 7 people showed up. Samrat, Milan, Ravindra, Raman, and Binay were few among those. Manish Karki bought the ball & pump. Posts were made out of bags and shoes. That’s how it all started.

Encourged by first meet up, a second call was made on 27th Feb 2022. This time the call was made on behalf of Stuttgatt FC which later changed into NFC Stuttgart and NFC Stuttgart e.V thereafter. NFC Stuttgart was coined by Sachit Lama. He played as a full right back. 

The club’s identity began to take shape as Lokendra Samba designed the first official logo and jersey, symbolizing our shared vision and pride. On June 1, 2022, with the official booking of our home ground by Suraj Pudasaini, NFC Stuttgart was formally established. These milestones laid the foundation for what has grown into a football club that not only competes on the pitch but also represents the spirit and unity of the Nepalese diaspora.
