Galar City

## Introduction

**Galar City Football Club** (**Galar City** for short) is a football team located in **Obstūganīa, Galar, Pokémon Islands**. It was founded in 1907 as **Internaczīonalzý Galar**, they are commonly referred to as Galar's 2nd team, behind Galar 1955. In 2019 they were bought by the **City Football Group**, and Changed their name to **Galar City**, they quickly overshadowed their enemies. But recently before the beginning of the 2023/24 season, they were deducted 12 points for monopolistic attempts and FFP regulation.

## Old Galar Days (<1907 - 1953)

Before the founding of the club, **Obstūganīa** was a city that was just starting to assert itself as a force to be reckoned with, but it was lacking in sports activity, and it was comparable to a industrial wasteland. So in 1902, the then lord mayor of Obstūganīa **Count Grīfo Sigefroīd** founed the **Royal Galarian Sports Fund** or **RGSF**, and sent several scouts to see the then relatively young Mixopolan football clubs already playing official matches, such as the two clubs that would create Alola United, along side SC Hoenn. These teams were especially appealing to one man named **Stepane Īashvilī**, who enthusiastically reported his founding's not just to the RGSF, but even the Galarian royal family. Stepane's idea was simple, a Galarian football club for anyone of any nationality, so that the kingdom can increase trade with other nations, especially in mainland Europe. This idea was given the blessing's of Galar's protestant priests, and was later granted by **King Johannes I**. So in June, 1907, after much preparation, **Fūtbāl Klūbā Internaczīonalzý Galar** was founded, and immediately debuted their iconic light blue jerseys with black shorts. They instantly grew a fanbase, and it actually help build Obstūganīa from the ground-up, and contributed to the **2nd golden age of Galar**. Some of their most iconic players played during this era, including their top-scorer **Mikhail Goldvāszer**, and Mixopolan Football Hall of Famer **Reiner Fitkaū**, who would later help liberate Galar from the Fascist party before being killed by the Soviets.

## The MPR Era (1953 - 1992)

When the Soviets took Galar, the **Inter Galar's** fans were forced to change identity, no longer were they the club of the royal family, they were now one of the many clubs identifying with the international communist movement. This was met with protest, but the protests were ignored, and the team was given to the **"Galarian Sector of the Communist Party of Mixopolis"** or simply known as **GSKPM**. This, however allowed them a comfortable spot in the **MPR 1st League**, which was a rarity to many Mixopolan clubs during this time. Inter Galar as we know only spent one season in the 2nd division, that being the 1989-90 season, where they instantly bounced back.

## The Pokémon Islands Era (1992 - 2020)

When the Pokémon Islands declared independence, Inter Galar were given a spot in the **Championship**, but they never finished over mid-table, even nearly being liquidated in 2014, leading to their forced relegation to the 2nd division for the 2015-16 season, which they would instantly win. The bigger story during this time however was in 2019 when **Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan's "City Football Group"** bought Inter Galar in 2019, and renamed them **Galar City Football Club**. This was controversial, as much of the Pokémon Islands thought that it would allow the return of the old greedy fans of Inter Galar before the MPR, and they feared that **City Football** would begin to create a monopoly in the football industry in not just Galar, but in all of Mixopolis, especially when unification was becoming more likely. This led to protests all over the Galarian football scene, but it was all for nothing, as by the end of the 2019-20 season, Galar City finished higher than Galar 1955, and not only was Galar City going to the Mixopolan Premier League, but Galar 1955 were going down to the **2nd League**.

## Present Day & Scandals (2020 -)

**Galar City** started to spend big by their 2nd season in the Prem, such as **Paulo Dybala, Jesse Lingard, André Onana**, and much more. This shows as in the seasons between 2021-2023 they consistently finished in the top 4. This was until recently, just after the 2022-23 season, their finances were put into question. **Galar City** claimed that they followed financial fair play by balancing their gains and loses enough to dodge trouble otherwise. This was later found out to be false, after the **Galar Herald** exposed them, this led to an investigation by the Mixopolis Football Association, in which it was proven that Galar City lied under oath, and in-fact did break FFP regulation. As punishment, they received a €300,000,000 fine, were deducted 12 points for the next season, were stripped of their UEFA Champions League spot, which was given to Slavia Kalos, and were given a 2 season transfer ban, but this investigation was also surrounding another scandal, in which Galar City gave their old stadium to their rivals Galar 1955, but not before vandalizing it along with their ultras, who wrote such quotes as "Auschwitz are your country, The ovens are your homes." "DVCE (reference to Benito Mussolini)" and most infamously "N\*\*\*\*r Jew", they also showed pictures of dead bodies from the Yuzhjugut Genocide which was a failed genocide led by the National Socialist Party of Mixopolis/Pokémon Islands, an edited picture of Emmet Till wearing a Galar 1955 kit. Which added an additional €150,000,000 to the already existing €150,000,000 for lying under oath. Due to this, **City Football Group** officially dropped out of the club, pulling all of their investment, not to mention a massive player exodus. **Galar City** would be relegated to the **Mixopolis Second League** after losing the **Play-Offs,** and in 2024, they renamed back to **Inter Galar.**
