Spanish club renamed Flat Earth FC

Spanish club Mostoles Balompie has renamed themselves Flat Earth FC:"We are here to unite the voices of millions of flat earth movement followers.”

The fourth tier club’s president Javi Poves said the move was inspired to bring together those ‘looking for answers’ in what is an unprecedented episode in Spanish football.

“We are here to unite the voices of millions of flat earth movement followers and all who are looking for answers,” Poves has said of the name change, as cited by Marca.

"Football is the most popular sport and has the most impact worldwide, so creating a club dedicated to the flat earth movement is the best way to have a constant presence in the media. 

“We are united by the most important thing: an idea.”

It is yet to be seen if this name change will stand the test of time or will gain the club new followers from around the globe.
