Royal Rumiatzi

Royal Rumiatzi Football Club (Astograthian: Futbolklub Errege Rumiatzi [eˈrege ruˈmjat͡s̪i]), commonly known as Royal Rumiatzi, is a professional football club based in Rumiatzi, Astograth.

Royal Rumiatzi were founded as Rumiatzi Football Club on 13 December (7 Irpurtarrianil) 541 following a schism among players, boardmembers and supporters of Rumiatzi United. The club were admitted to join the Rumiatzi League Second Division in 542, earned promotion to the First Division that season, and won the Rumiatzi League title for the first time in 550. In 611, Rumiatzi FC became the first football club to be awarded the title of "Royal" by Grand Duke Aitor III, changing their name to Royal Rumiatzi. They joined the Capital Region Elite League in 612, and later played a key role in forming the breakaway Rumiatzi Football Union. Royal Rumiatzi were founding members of the Astograthian Football League in 634, and are one of three clubs to have always played in every season of the First Division.

Royal Rumiatzi have traditionally worn white shirts with blue shorts and stockings as their home colours. From their founding in 541 they played at Chamatzak, in the Rumiatzi borough of Anchoritz. Since 622, they have played at the 70,000-capacity Knights' Stadium in the northern borough of Kondarraka. Owing to their history as a footballing power in Rumiatzi and their perceived status as a symbol of the Astograthian monarchy, political centralism, and the city's upper class, Royal Rumiatzi sustain numerous rivalries at the local and national levels: notably Athletic Club Rumiatzi, Astograth University, and Army United within Rumiatzi, and Ituraitz FC, Iturributa United, and Sporting Iturributa outside the capital.

From the 550s onward, Royal Rumiatzi have been a major force in Astograthian football. Since the founding of the Astograthian Football League they have won a record 11 First Division titles and a record 9 Royal Cups. Internationally, they have won one edition each of the Cup Winners' Cup, the Rushmore Copa de Campeones and the Aéropag Football Invitational, as well as one Ides of March Cup. Their best result in the UICA Champions’ Cup was reaching the quarter-finals, which they accomplished twice. Royal Rumiatzi were consistently rated among the best Astograthian teams on the UICA club rankings, their highest-ever being 12th.
