. The combined side quickly established itself, advancing out of the Berzirksliga Dresden (VI) to play in the Landesliga Sachsen (V) in 1993. FV captured the Landesliga championship in 1996 to earn promotion to the Oberliga Nordost-Süd (IV) where they still play today, generally earning mid-table results.

Predecessor Motor TuR Dresden-Übigau was a sports club with departments for athletics, bowling, and fistball in addition to its football side which made several appearances as a third division club in East Germany between 1959 and German re-unification in 1990. Although their play was generally un-distinguished, the footballers did manage four final appearances in the city cup competition (1967, 1972, 1990, 1991) coming away victorious only in the last of these contests.

Suffering from financial difficulties, the club withdrew its Oberliga team after four rounds of the 2011-12 season.

Borea plays its home matches in the Sportanlage Jägerpark which has a capacity of 2,000 (>100 seats).
