Transfers Synthesis
Across the recorded movement period, FC 08 Homburg shows a concentrated exchange of players around summer 2025, followed by smaller entries in early 2026. Arrivals in July 2025 were listed mainly as free transfers or free-agent moves, with a further loan arrival from Eintracht Frankfurt in January 2026. The departure side is similarly concentrated in July 2025 and includes free transfers to Würzburger Kickers, Hansa Rostock, FC Carl Zeiss Jena, Wacker Burghausen, Bayreuth and FC Bocholt. Later activity records K. Mata’s free-agent move, K. Inanoglu’s return to Eintracht Frankfurt and M. Goncalves’s transfer to Fortuna Düsseldorf. Several names appear in more than one dated entry or under related movement labels, so the record indicates activity rather than a definitive seasonal total. No amounts are recorded for these movements, so their financial scale cannot be assessed. The pattern covers recruitment, departures and a loan return across July 2024 to June 2026 without establishing the club’s complete market balance.
Leagues FC 08 Homburg has participated in
Recorded participation covers Regionalliga Südwest from 2019 through 2025, DFB-Pokal from 2014 through 2025, and club friendlies from 2020 through 2025. The Regionalliga Südwest is the league context identified for FC 08 Homburg and represents the fourth tier of German football. The DFB-Pokal provides national cup continuity, while friendlies mark non-competitive fixtures in the recorded schedule. The participation record confirms these competitions through 2025; it does not establish a 2026 fixture list, final outcome or league standing.
More about FC 08 Homburg
FC 08 Homburg is based in Homburg, Saarland, Germany, and was founded in 1908. The club’s official association identity is Fußball-Club 08 Homburg-Saar e.V., reflecting its registered sporting-association structure and membership-based community character. Its traditional colors are green and white, while the crest incorporates municipal and regional heraldic elements connected with the history of Homburg. Together, these details place the club firmly within the cultural landscape of southwestern German football. Waldstadion Homburg is the club’s traditional home. The municipality owns the multi-use venue, which combines seated sections with historic standing areas. That setting gives FC 08 Homburg a distinctive local base and links its senior football to a civic stadium. The venue’s long-standing design and municipal connection are part of the club’s durable identity. The most prominent chapter in the sporting history came during the 1980s. FC 08 Homburg reached the Bundesliga for three seasons across the late decade, carrying Saarland representation onto Germany’s top-flight stage. The club’s historical achievements also include a 2. Bundesliga championship and the German Amateur Championship. These milestones form the national profile behind a club whose everyday football has remained strongly regional. In the modern German pyramid, the club is associated with the Regionalliga Südwest, the fourth tier, and its recorded participation extends through 2025. Its wider competition ecosystem includes the DFB-Pokal, where national cup exposure connects regional football with the wider German game, as well as Saarland’s regional cup tradition and club friendlies. FC 08 Homburg is defined by its 1908 origins, green-and-white culture, municipal home, membership structure and enduring place in Saarland football.
