Not a brand of Belgian Abbey beer, but an Italian club from Bergamo.
|
Blooming

Or to give them their full title, Club Social, Cultural y Deportivo Blooming.
|
Club Destroyers
(Bolivia) |
Santa Cruz based side, who compete with The Strongest for Bolivia's toughest sounding name.
|
Coronel Bolognesi
(Peru) |
Translating as Colonel Bolognesi, and sounding like some possible Italian rival to that bloke who started KFC,
they're a Peruvian club from the southern city of Tacna and named after one of the country's military heros,
Francisco Bolognesi.
|
Deportivo Moron
(Argentina) |
Often overlooked in favour of Peru's Wanka, but we actually give this one the nod as the best club name ever.

|
Jorge Wilstermann
(Bolivia) |
Another fantastically named Bolivian team, this one based in the city of Cochabamba. The name is derived from the
country's first commercial aviator.
When Wilstermann died the boss of Bolivia's national airline requested that the city's airport and football team be renamed
in honour of him.
|
KFC Winterslag
(Belgium) |
KFC standing for Koninklijke Football Club, rather than an unhealthy alliance with Colonel Saunders and his mates.
Unfortunately they merged with Waterschei SV Thor Genk in 1988 to create Racing Genk, which doesn't quite have the same comedy
appeal as KFC Winterslag.

(Nigeria) |
Ok, so on it's own this Nigerian Premier League team doesn't sound as good as some of the others, but imagine if they

|
Sint-Eloois Winkel Sport
(Belgium) |
Not very crack Belgian outfit from West Flanders.
