History

In August 2015, Stegman's Old Boys FC and FC Internationals merged to become Stegman's Soccer Club.

Stegman's Old Boys FC was founded in 2010 by Dan Hoedeman, Jon Bisswurm and Nick Sindt, quickly expanding to multiple teams competing across the local amateur leagues and divisions. Named for Tom Stegman, the youth coach of the Dayton, Ohio team Centerville Blitz that Hoedeman and Bisswurm played on, Stegman's Old Boys' mascot is a rich, luxuriant mustache.

FC Internationals was founded in 1977 and quickly established itself as a powerhouse in Minnesota amateur soccer. Under the management of Franklin Tawah, the Internationals won 13 MASL Division 1 titles, including three in a row from 2003 - 2005, with the 2003 side not dropping a single point on the way to the title, and 8 Minnesota Cups. Keith Kiecker took over manager duties from Tawah and led the team to second in Division 1 and the finals of the Minnesota Cup.

In 2016, with FC Internationals re-named Stegman's 1977, the side did the double, claiming the Division 1 title (for the first time since 2005) and the Minnesota Cup for the first trophies of the new era. As a club, Stegman's almost swept the MASL cups in 2016, but Stegman's Old Boys fell to Haaka FC in extra time in the Wilson Cup final. It was their second Wilson Cup final defeat in three years.

The success continued in 2017, with Stegman's 1977 retaining their MASL Division 1 crown and Stegman's Old Boys winning MASL Division 3.

The club has a barnstorming reputation, regularly traveling out-of-state to take on other amateur clubs. Beginning in 2012, when the Old Boys lost a close battle with Bavarian SC Majors 1-0 in Milwaukee and continuing to 2015 when the Old Boys competed in a home-and-home with FC Fargo, losing the match in Fargo 2-1 on the last kick of the game.

The club has started to compete in national amateur tournaments, though Stegman's 1977 were beaten 4-0 in Milwaukee by Bavarian Soccer Club in the 2017 USASA National Cup regional quarterfinal.

Social Responsibility

Uniquely for an amateur club, Stegman's is an active supporter of local charities, especially The Sanneh Foundation. The annual Free Beer Night charity friendly, played in 2013, 2014 and 2015 at the National Sports Center in conjunction with a Minnesota United game, has raised over $15,000 for the charity. Additionally, Stegman's has teamed up with other organizations to help The Sanneh Foundation cause, most notably by helping to prepare the Conway Rec Center.
