Heeslinger SC

Heeslinger SC is a German association football club from the town of Heeslingen, Lower Saxony. The footballers are part of a larger sports club that had departments for aerobics, athletics, badminton, bowling, gymnastics, Pilates, table tennis, and volleyball.

History

The association was founded on 1 July 2013 as the successor of TuS Heeslingen which was founded in 1906. TuS was the subject of a 2011 tax investigation in Rotenburg for reported irregularities, namely unpaid non-wage labour costs and payments in so-called "black money." Overall, the claims of the tax office and the social insurance institutions amounted to almost one million euros.

TuS was refused a licence for the 2013–14 Oberliga season and folded because a blank certificate was submitted to the tax office, among others. SC entered their first competition, the Landesliga Luneburg and finished runners-up behind Teutonia Uelzen in 2014. They won the league next year and were promoted to the Niedersachsenliga for the first time.
