Aeland Belaov Football Club is a professional association football club based in Aeland Belaov, Aeland Krasno. They compete in the Krasno Elite League, the first tier of the Krasno football league system. Founded in 2000, the club initially played in the defunct Aeland Krasno regional football league before accepting the invitation to play in the Krasnovlac football league system.
The club has been a center of controversy in both mainland Krasnovlac and Aeland Krasno due to the nature of the club being part of propaganda in Aeland Krasno but yet still decides to play their football in the mainland's league. The club was initially formed as part of a separatist movement for the Aeland Krasno natives and was under fire for their decision to play in the Krasnovlac football league system. Despite that, however, the club has recently been picking up steam as one of the big clubs in the league, with their highest placing of fourth in the 2021-22 season and even reaching the final of the first ever Rhict Cup in 2021.
Due to the nature of Aeland Krasno natives, the discussion of any player from the club playing for the national team has been under rough discussion, though young talent Kan Shoshukai has appeared for the national team as of 2022, appearing in Krasnovlac's first ever international match against Pacary.
History
Establishment during a dark history
Aeland Belaov FC was initially founded as the Aeland of Zer Football Club after a separation movement led by Junh Itaki to separate the natives of the island from the mainland. This derived from a civil war that was instigated from conflicting perspectives in politicis. Aeland of Zer Football Club was seen as fuel to the fire as the club was also used as propaganda in Krasno sports and changed their name shortly after their establishment after the natives forcefully changed the name of the island to Aeland Krasno.
Participation in the Krasnovlac Football System
From 2000 to 2003, Aeland Belaov FC participated in the Aeland Krasno Regional Leauge that consisted of four teams with each team playing each other ten times. However, due to the major population living in Aeland Belaov, the talent was not diversed and the club dominated in all three seasons with invincible records. Due to lack of stability in finances, the league shut down and so did all the other clubs but Aeland Belaov FC who still had a diverse range of talents. The club stayed inactive for a year and only played ocassional friendlies against the locals. There were talks about reopening the league under a new format but it never kicked off due to the lack of clubs.
In 2006, the Krasnovlac Football Federation reached out to Aeland Belaov FC for the possibility of the club playing in the mainland's football system. They initially rejected the idea but accepted it a few days later due to the players needing new competition. This was met with disapproval from the citizens and even some of the players who threatened to leave but in the end decided to roll on with the idea.
Success in 2016
In the 2016-17 Krasnovlac Elite League season, Aeland Belaov secured their highest ranked finish at the time of 5th place. This season included a double over mainland rivals, Belaov Treble and Belaov City, though they weren't able to capitalize on these wins as sloppy performances against lower ranked teams cost them a top four finish. The club did however, make it to the final of the Rhict Cup against Lorat Ultras but lost to them on penalties after an intense match that saw both teams score four each.
