Belaov Treble Winning Football Club, commonly referred to as Belaov Treble, was a Krasno professional football club based in Belaov, Brashiko. It competed in the Elite League, the top flight of Krasno football. The team played their home matches in the Belaov Sky Park which they shared with the Krasnovlac national team.
The Belaov Treble emblem featured three trophies standing side-by-side, a logo design made after their controversial treble in the outdated Lorat League, Global Cup, and Rhict Cup. The club's traditional hot pink and light purple colours stemmed from the sunset scene during Belaov Treble's Rhict Cup celebration. Their training ground was located nearby the stadium in Belaov.
History
Formation and early years
Originally founded as Belaov Amateurs, the club registered for the Lorat League but was having difficulties sustaining themselves as a club. In their first season, the amateur club had to forfeit eight out of their eighteen league games due to committment issues and financial problems. They were given leiniency but were warned that if they forfeited three games in the next season, the club would be expelled from the league entirely. The team placed last in their inaugural season and their second season wasn't any better as fears of expulsion resulted in the club playing several of their games without a full starting eleven so as to avoid forfeiting their matches. Belaov Amateurs did however, manage to form a committed team the next season when a relegation system was in place and thus managed to avoid relegation as players such as Darukao Shmit and Gh1lo (Ghaixlo) Reoam helped turn the team's philosophy around.
Joak vu Skaru's transfer
During the last few seasons of the Lorat League, Belaov City manager, Joak vu Skaru, was reportedly unhappy with how the club was run, citing the club's vision and disputes over commissions and fees. This resulted in vu Skaru's decision to join the Belaov Amateurs under a new philosophy and fresh air. vu Skaru's demands were met when the club and his visions were met as he not only bought some of his best and close players from Belaov City, but also encouraged them to run down their contracts and join his new team on a free. Players such as Hassen Mauk, Devona son du Karshna, and Plau Hirosaki switched teams which kickstarted vu Skaru's reign in the league.
Rivalry with Belaov City
vu Skaru and co's departure from Belaov City resulted in the club struggling in the league and were relegated into the second division. To add fuel to the fire, Belaov City nearly got relegated into the now defunct Third Non League and scrapped survival by a sole goal on goal difference. Meanwhile, Belaov Amateurs won their first Lorat League title and the Global and Rhict Cups, this was coupled with the fact that both Belaov teams shared the same stadium in Belaov Sky Park shortly before vu Skaru's arrival, thus Belaov Amateurs celebrated their treble in the original Belaov club's home stadium. Belaov City were then kicked out of Belaov Sky Park due to financial issues caused by struggling for survival in the second division. This led to decades of tense rivalry from the two Belaov clubs and hence started the Belaov Derby.
New Era
Belaov Amateurs changed their name to Belaov Treble and took full ownership of Belaov Sky Park until the national team was formed. vu Skaru's tactics and philosophy led to several years of dominance in not only the league but also cups even after his retirement. The dominance slowed down however during the league's rebrand in 2014 and the Global Cup prohibiting top division clubs from participating until 2018 leading to Belaov Treble's stagnant move in dominating the country's football.
Krasnovlac Elite League
Former Belaov Treble player, Truhman Shiak, signed as manager right before the start of the 2019-20 season.
Due to a sudden drop of quality in results in the middle of the 2022-23 season, manager Truhman Shiak was sacked as manager as the club was leaning more and more away from their goal of winning the league. As a result, Matabese football legend and manager Fahmi Ohmid was hired as manager. Fahmi is no stranger to Krasno football though, as he played with Belaov Treble in his near-retirement days.
Stadium
Belaov Amateurs used to play in a large public land in Belaov Park and played most of their games against casual teams before their admission into the Lorat League which was when they had special rights to rent out the space until they were allowed into Belaov Sky Park.
After Belaov City's expulsion from Belaov Sky Park, the Treble gained full ownership of the stadium until the national team was formed. The stadium was heavily renovated to feature the Treble's traditions rather than Belaov City's much to the upset of rival fans. The first match since the renovation, ironically, was a friendly between the rival teams which Belaov City won 3-0.
Crest
The Belaov Amateurs crest didn't exist until vu Skaru's appointment in which the badge showcased a white circle with the letters BAFC engraved into it. After their historic treble, the crest was changed into the current crest featuring three trophies on a purple stand.
Kit
Support
Fan culture
Belaov Treble had a huge support called the Treblemakers which formed in 2000. The fanclub had reserved seats in the stadium close to the players and management and have even played charity matches against the actual club themselves. The Treblemakers often came decked in club merchandise and brought along pyros when allowed. There were occasions where members of the Treblemakers eventually became a Belaov Treble player themselves with the biggest example being local fan Canon Utachi.
Rivalries
Belaov City
Belaov Treble had a harsh rivalry with Belaov City since the vu Skaru incident with players and fans being extremely unethical toward each other, the biggest case being an attempted assault by an unnamed Belaov City fan toward Mashin O' during Belaov Treble's 4-0 win against Belaov City in 2020.
Aeland Belaov FC
Belaov Treble and Aeland Belaov FC had a strong rivalry since the establishment of the latter side due to political reasons that were brought in from the Krasnovlac Civil War into football. Due to the strong hatred between the two Belaov cities, the rivalry was seen as a tense one forcing the former team to hire security guards and riot police when travelling to the stadium.
Lorat Ultras
The Treble also had a rivalry with Lorat Ultras though the fans and the clubs themselves saw it more of a friendly rivalry to create more competitiveness.
