I don't know, but however you decide to pronounce it, you're screwed.

This spelling is the same as a “Föcke.”

In German, when there is an umlaut (the two dots) over the vowels a, o or u, you pronounce it with your tongue flattened on the top of your mouth or towards the rear of your mouth.

The best approximation I can write is “Foae-cka.”
