Encyclopedia
1. SC Feucht is a German association football club
from the town of Feucht

The team played in lower level local competition until winning its way into the Landesliga Bayern-Mitte

However the club was unable to sustain itself financially at that level and, despite finishing clear of the relegation zone, voluntarily withdrew to the Bayernliga in 2005 after beginning bankruptcy proceedings in February that year. New sponsorship briefly secured the club's position, but it again faced insolvency in March 2007.
