Gortz United

Gortz United Football Club (Astograthian: Futbolklub Bildu Gortz) ( Astograthian pronunciation: [ˈfutbolklub ˈbildu goɾts̪]), commonly known as Gortz United, is a professional football club based in the city of Gortz, Astograth.

Founded in the 561st year of the Astograthian calendar, they have traditionally worn an all-lavender kit as their home colours, and have played at the 43,415-capacity Itsasargiberria Stadium since 658, moving in from their prior home at Ibakultzara Stadium. Gortz United were founding members of the Astograthian Football League in 634, first earning promotion to the second tier in 641. Since 650, Gortz have been closely tied to renowned Astograthian national team striker Dei Ormache, who had first played for the club in the Northwest Premier League 632 season. Ormache returned to the club for a second stint at the age of 38 and revolutionised the club on and off the pitch, propelling them to their first season in the Astograthian First Division. Since then, with Ormache as chairman, Gortz remained in the top flight until the league's dissolution at the end of the 661 season. Following the refounding of the Astograthian Football League in 674, Gortz were assigned to the Second Division, won promotion the same season and have remained in the top flight since.

Under manager Eneko Madariaga, Gortz played their first Royal Cup final in 685, losing to Iturributa United, and their first league runners-up finish in the 687 season. The following season, 688, Gortz won the First Division title for the first time, becoming the first new winners of the competition since Urbizania Wanderers in 651. They have gone on to take part in top-level international competition for the first time; their best result came in the 8th edition of the IFCF Challengers Cup, where they reached the Round of 32, falling on penalties to Lokomotive Jarnstad of Savojarna.
