Burnaby Sport Club is a professional football club playing in the Kelssek Championship, based in the city of Burnaby. It has won the most national championships of any club in Kelssek, with 16 league titles. It was also the first Kelssek club to achieve a double by winning the 65th KFL Championship and 14th Patriotes Cup in the same season (184-85), which they followed up by being the first to win a second double in 193-94. They play home matches at Stadium Konoha in central Burnaby, which is shared with the Burnaby Lions rugby club and owned by the Burnaby municipal government. Although primarily known for its football team, Burnaby SC is a multi-sport club which also has amateur rugby union, water polo, handball, basketball, and volleyball teams.
Burnaby is known for having the oldest and most well-established academy system in Kelssek football, and benefits from being able to recruit from the region in Kelssek where football is the most popular. Burnaby has two main rivalries. It plays a local derby against Coquitlam United, known as the Battle of Burnaby. Burnaby's other rivalry is the Anglian Derby against Kirkenes FC, contested between the country's two biggest Anglian-speaking cities and also variously known as the Lake vs. Coast or Long Black/Flat White, which is often characterized as a contest between Burnaby's free-spirited mountain culture against the establishment elites from the coast.
During the UICA centennial, Burnaby SC was named Kelssek's "club of the century" as the most successful team from Kelssek in international club competitions to that date. This honour gives the club its nickname, the Centurions. Burnaby was the first and Kelssek team to reach the Globe Cup group stage, which it managed to do twice.
