Yes, these clubs actually exist.
Llanfairpwll FC – Wales
The name itself isn’t that strange, it’s just a mouthful, but considering that they’re based in the Welsh town of Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch (that’s a real place, by the way) then they’re in with a shout.
Formed way back in 1899 under the more speaker friendly name of Llanfair Rovers, they can now be found in the Cymru Alliance League Division 1.
FC Santa Claus – Finland
Currently plying their trade in the third tier of Finnish football, FC Santa was founded in 1993 after two clubs from the town of Rovaniemen, Reipas and Lappi merged.
It what is a brazen attempt to cash in on their most famous resident, the man in red and white is closely associated with the club, often turning up to games and starring in the clubs official photocall.
Blooming – Bolivia
Club Social, Cultural y Deportivo Blooming, as they are actually known, are actually one of Bolivia’s biggest clubs and were crowned as first division champions as recently as 2008.
Formed out of the ashes of a dissolved club in 1946, their quest to find a name led them to look for inspiration in the city of Santa Cruz’s flourishing youth; therefore, they decided to name the team officially as “Club Blooming”.
Joe Public FC – Trinidad & Tobago
Owned by the infamous CONCACAF President, Jack Warner, Joe Public can be found playing their home games at the Marvin Lee Stadium, not to be confused with the Lee Marvin Stadium, who is a famous old movie cowboy, so he probably doesn’t have a stadium.
Formed back in 1996 out of frustration at missing out on another World Cup, they were to be the building block for a new generation of talent that would propel them to the finals in 2006. They missed that one, but made it to the promised land in 2006.
Total Clean FC – Peru
The Peruvian club based in the southern city of Arequipa was formed by the employees of a laundry firm (hmmm, wonder how they came up with that name) they began to bring in non-employees to play and managed to hit the big time – winning promotion to the top tier of Peruvian football (the Primera Division Peruana) in 2006.
Botswana Meat Commission FC – Botswana
Botswana Meat Commission Football Club, also known as BMC FC, is based in the Botswanian town of Lobatse. They were formed in 1969 and ply their trade in the Mascom Premier League.
Fans also refer to the team as The MeatMen, and they have often donned a black and white shirt with a cow pattern!
FL Fart – Norway
Yes, this team is actually called Fart and they are a women’s team based in Vang outside Hamar. But behind the hilarious name in English, it actually means “the football team speed” in Norwegian.
Currently in the second tier of Norwegian women’s football, they are frequently responsible for starting the careers of several of Norway’s successful female international stars.
Club Deportivo Moron – Argentina
They’re screwed if they ever run through a bad patch as they’ve already provided their fans with an ample insult.
Currently mired in the third division of Argentine football, they can still draw crowds of near 20,000. The club was founded in 1947 under the name “Club Sportivo Morón”. Three years later the club joined the AFA and began playing in Tercera de Ascenso, but changed back to Moron in 1951 and haven’t looked back since.
Liberian International Shipping And Corporate Registry FC – Liberia
Try fitting that into a chant!
Liberia is the home of the most registries for foreign ships in the world, and the club were named after the country’s foremost source of income. Based in Monrovia, they play home games in the Antoinette Tubman Stadium and won the LFA Knockout trophy twice and the Super Cup trophy twice.
They won the premiership title for the first time in their history in the 2010-11 season and won it again for the second time in the 2011-2012 Premier league before the dissolution of the league to the first division by the LFA.
Deportivo Wanka – Peru
The undisputed champions when it comes to weird names, there was a point not long ago when you could buy their shirts quite freely and the club even garnered a cult support in Europe.
Based in the city of Huancayo in the Peruvian Andes. It was founded in 1996 and is named after the Wankas people who formerly inhabited the area and after whom the city of Huancayo is named.
However, sadly, the club are no more. After they were relegated from the top flight in 2004 they protested the decision and were thus barred from competing in any tournaments.
