League Football League of Tiegang

Blackfriars FC is a football based in the Blackfriars district of Tiegang, in the International Mandate. The team was founded by a few patrons of the Blackfriars' Redux, who were eager to have an excuse to socialise outside of the opening hours of the bar. As such, they founded a football team to compete in local Tiegang competitions. The club has subsequently grown, with the founding patrons becoming executives of the club, whilst players, made up variously of mercenaries, graduates of the local school, functional residents of a local institution and several alleged slaves have brought the club national success. The team, however, has never won a game in international competition, struggling to compete with professional teams from abroad, where it is frequently on the end of heavy defeats.

Competitions and fixtures

Blackfriars FC play in the amateur Football League of Tiegang, which serves as the national championship for the International Mandate, with the winners qualifying for the AEFA Champions' League. However, the standard of competition in this tournament is poor and Blackfriars FC are the strongest team by a long shot. However, in international play, the team is regularly on the end of large defeats by professional teams across Apollonia.

In 1727, the team embarked on a tour of Eura, playing teams from Constancia, the Ecclesiastical Mountain Republic, Raspur and Suren, in between national team fixtures against the first three nations.
