Funniest Club Names In Football

[Vickzq]

I would like to share this with all people interested in football - but also loving a good laugh from time to time.

It all started when I stumbled over 'Deportivo Morón' from second division in Argentina (man, I love a team with that name ). So I continued my search to find the funniest club names in the world, and maybe some of you can contribute with some names they know... I warn you, it's not for the faint hearted - and please don't blame me if it sounds 'sexually'... I didn't invent these names
It's all about either funny names in general... or the fact that some names just sound very funny in english (or other languages because of different meanings).

There is a club named 'Eleven Men in Flight FC' in Swaziland... with a plane in the logo. Not bad either is their 'Green Mamba FC' .
Gabun can counter that with the 'Missiles FC' - guess what's in the logo .
The pride of Ethiopia are the 'Harrar Beer Bottling FC' and the 'Coffee FC' - hard to choose...
Since 1957 the 'Bush Bucks FC' is playing in South Africa. 'Mamelodi Sundowns' is based in Pretoria (in french it sounds like 'my melody sundowns').
The 'Wikki Tourists FC' plays in Nigeria - their biggest success was the cupwin 1998 against 'Plateau United' .
In Kenia the 'Kakamega Homeboyz FC' is located. No joke.
The sportsclub 'Sunken Garden United' plays on the Philippines... above sea-level.
Japanese can root for the 'FC Mito Holly Hock' since 1994, after the merging with 'Prima Ham FC'.
'Shatin Sports Association' plays in Hong Kong - with potenitally the most hilarious logo ever! It looks like a stickman running to the emergency exit... or the toilet respectively .
The 'TOT Sport Club' is from Thailand (in german 'tot' means 'dead') - their nickname is 'HELLO'. If you don't like that, you might want to cheer for the 'Bangkok Bravo FC'.
'DC Cruz Azul' is located in Mexico City.. this 'Blue Cross FC' probably never allowed alcohol in the stadium for the fans...
Funny names of the old Northamerican NASL would be e.g. 'Chicago Sting' (with the bee), 'Tampa Bay Rowdies', 'The Caribous of Colorado' and the 'Washington Whips'.
Finland is the home of many funny named sport clubs... also in football. One is the 1985 founded team from Laaksolahti in Espoo, called 'SexyPöxyt' (sexy trousers) with a hilarious logo .
'FC Kiffen 08' is finnish, too (in german like 'weed-smoker 08 FC'). If someone likes it more conservative... the 'FC Opa' also plays in Finland (in german 'FC Grandpa'). And Finland wouldn't be Finland without the 'FC Santa Claus' .
Funny is also the latvian record champion 'Skonto Riga' (in german Skonto is like 'reduced price').
Switzerland is home of the 'Grasshoppers Club' from Zurich... there is a lower league team called 'FC Bitsch' (really sounds like FC Bitch), and the Young Boys playing in the Wankdorf .
In the MLS 'Michigan Madness', 'Milwaukee Rampage', 'Kalamazoo Outrage' and especially the 'Jacksonville Tea Men' are funny football club names.
Peruvian 'Deportivo Wanka' plays its home games on 4'400 metres above sea. The Wankas were natives in the Andes.
In Indonesia one might find the 'Semen Padang' to cheer for (Semen was the biggest producer of cement in the region).
The oldest club in Ghana are the 'Hearts of Oak', not to be confused with their opponent called the 'Cape Coast Mysterious Dwarfs' .
Bielorussian 'Dinamo Bender' was already called 'Burevestnik Bender', 'Lokomotiv Bender' and 'Tighina-Apoel Bender' in earlier days.
In Lobatse the 'Botswana Meat Commission' is playing - guess who's main sponsor . Also in Botswana there are the 'Naughty Boys' and the 'Golden Bush' .
Talking about main sponsors - the 'Insurance Management Bears' won the championship of Bahamas six times so far.
'Fotballaget Fart' is from Vang in Norway, a low league club concerning men, but top with the women team. The 'FK Haugesund' (in german like 'beat'ya healthy') is norwegian, too.
Sweden is home of 'Assi IF' (in german that sounds like slang for 'anti-social').
Wales got this one: 'Clwb Pêl Droed Llanfair­pwllgwyngyll­gogery­chwyrn­drobwll­llan­tysilio­gogo­goch' - yes, that's a club name! Gaelic is famous for very long names.
On Haiti the 'Football Inter Club Association' is located, nicknamed 'FICA' - yes, that's hilarious for italians... I won't translate (not for minors).
Mauritius is the home of the 'Pamplemousses SC' ('FC Grapefruits').
Chilian 'Deportes Lota Schwager' may have german roots (in german like 'FC Brother-in-Law Lota').
On Cyprus there might be a club just for alcoholics... it's the 'Alki Larnaca' ('Alki' is the german slangname for someone addicted to alcohol).
'Yokohama Flügels' is the hilarious name of a japanese team (yes, 'Flügels' is like the german word for wing with an english plural 's').
South Korea can beat that - 'Hallelujah FC' might have special support.
'Chiken Inn' plays in Simbabwe.
Argentina can do better than 'Deportivo Moron'... they also got 'Lanus'.
Now it's time for superheroes . 'Batman Belediyespor' is from Batman in Turkey. Some names can be very challenging, too... like the one of 'Gençlerbirliği Spor Kulübü'.
'Taumata FC' plays in New Zealand - say it fast, sounds like 'Traumata FC'.
You believe Poland can't challenge the trophy for the hardest club names? Take this! I still can't say 'Jaworznickie Stowarzyszenie Piłkarskie Szczakowianka' - a 4th league team.
England? Sure - the 'Blood, Sweat and Beers FC' might be just the team you were waiting for.
In Bolivia the 'Club Always Ready' want to be more ready than the opponents.
You know 'PAOK FC' from Greece? Or is it 'Panthessaloníkios Athlitikós Ómilos Konstantinoupolitón Football Club'? - I'll have to ask some greek football fans .

What is your favorite name?

Here in Rosario there's Newell's Old Boys. They should play a friendly with Young Boys, just because.

I just saw you're from Argentina... so the country of my new favorite D.C.M. Deportivo Morón .
Just as a sidenote... I realized there is a 'Lugano' playing in Argentina - seems it's a city area of Buenos Aires. Actually Lugano is a swiss city (now also playing in Europa League at the moment), and a swiss immigrant had some farm in that area or s.t., before it became a 'building zone' and finally part of the city.

Funny thing is, the 'Young Boys' are called 'Young Boys' because there already was an 'Old Boys' in Basel. So when the young students (british students were often co-founders of some swiss clubs in the early days when studying in Switzerland around 1900 or earlier) were looking for a name, that's what they came up with - inspired by the 'Old Boys' from Basel (now in a lower league).
That story could be continued... by saying that the guy founding FC Zurich (Gamper) became captain of FC Basel... and later founded the famous FC Barcelona . Some people argue that might be the reason Barcelona and Basel play with similar jerseys - no joke.

Now talking about Switzerland and football... I know that in early days in Italy, there was only AC Milan, and NO foreigners were allowed to play there. So some italians and swiss founded the famous Inter Milan where 'Inter' is just short for 'Internazionale FC', obviously having foreign players.

Interesting stories about how a club got a specific name might be as fascinating as 'funny names'.

I apologize. I had intention to check each name I found twice... the list I saw said 'bielorussian', but my bad.

'Cape Coast Mysterious Dwarfs' takes the cake for now.

I understand...
The translater says 'Opas' would be something like a 'guide' oder a 'guidebook' in finnish. In german it's really just the 'slang' or nickname for grandpa... and official german it would be 'Grossvater'.

There's a non-league team in England called Beating Chastards.

Nice one. The funny thing is... I hardly ever heard of these names - but it doesn't take that long to find a whole bunch of it .

Pufajka in Hungarian. The "pufajkások" were an infamous paramilitary unit operating in the 50's, who among others brutally forced (agitated) the farmers to join the collectiv agricultural co-ops. They're known to be sadistic, bloodthirsty and without any human feelings.
