Kyrtzhuosci Hanbei Football Club (sometimes referred to as Kyrtshuosci Hanbei), was a Krasno professional football club based in Kyrtzhuosci. The club played their games at the Kyrtzhuosci Attack Stage. The club competed in the Krasnovlac Elite Leauge, the top division of Krasno football. They won the first ever title in the Elite League era, the only title they won since the rebranding of the league. Along with that, they also won one Rhict Cup and a Krasno Shield.
Kyrtzhuosci Hanbei was part of the Hanbei group after the club was bought in 2018 as part of the Hanbei's group football project to establish football as a global dominance in culture and businessed. The club had a second team that plays in the Krasnovlac Second Chance called Hanbei Satellite Group and wasn't permitted to be promoted to the first division even if they won the championships.
History
Founding years as Kyrtzhuosci Residents
In 1990, to-be manager, Devon Clar, founded the club as a twenty-year-old alongside his friends who wanted to play football. The entire team lived in the same building and thus named themselves the Kyrtzhuosci Residents and joined the Lorat League but were relegated in their first season. The club was then relegated to the third division but built up forces and upgraded their skills and saw themselves back in the first division within three years.
Successful years and downfall
The club's success started in 2005 when players Juik Deis and Vlanken 'Pla signed for the club. The duo combined for a total of 32 goals each and helped the club win the league. This success continued until 2008 until Deis retired from injury and 'Pla was arrested following an unlicensed moneylending group which saw him sentenced to five years of prison. The duo was infamously named as 'What could have been' as both never stepped onto a football pitch again as 'Pla left the country following his release. Thanks to their duo leaving the club, they weren't as competitive and even got relegated to the second division.
It took six more years for the club to get back into the first division until youngster Luke Ctera joined the club from graduation. The youngster helped the club get back up to their feet and into the first division again and was hailed as the best youngster in the league, winning four consecutive best young player of the season in both the first and second division. Ctera was named captain until 2020 when Harry C.G. joined for commercial purposes.
Hanbei group
In 2010, the club was sold to the Hanbei group for Cr100 and even signed clinical striker Harry C.G. in 2020.
Identity
The club had always been called The Army due to their history of having ex-soldiers in the team. The club had also been nicked The Cheetahs due to the city being prominent of the animal. The club initially had red as the club colours until the Hanbei group era where they changed to white with the red being kept for the logo only.
Rivalries
Kyrtzhuosci Hanbei had a long rivalry with Raichfield Town since the establishment of the two clubs. Raichfield Town was a part of the former club but broke away from them in 1997 due to conflicting views in football. This break apart brought in personal issues from both sides including threats against each other's family members and even a brawl. The Raichfield Brawl happened in Raichfield Town's homeground after Kyrtzhuosci Residents controversially beat Raichfield Town 1-0 in the dying embers of the game. Fans of Raichfield Town started attacking the Kyrtzhuosci fans. The brawl ended after riot police intervened, injuring 410 and killing three. Goalscorer and youth player, Vanis Dei, was one of the three who were murdered in the brawl after one of the Raichfield fans threw a rock at him. Raichfield Town were barred from having any fans attend their home and away matches for a year and identification and proof of support were required for fans to attend matches.
