    City population of around 50,000 a couple semi pro teams sitting around the 7/8th tier of football with one long ago being relatively decent in the 5th tier until a dodgy business man got involved and sunk us down.

    Population of around 14000 if I’m not mistaken, only 1 professional team, but quite a few semi-pro/amateur ones. The professional team is Proodeftiki. One of the most notable players this team has had, albeit only for a while, is goalkeeper Foto Strakosha, father of current Brentford goalkeeper Thomas

    I believe we are in the 7th tier of Belgian football. We just got promoted though, and are looking like we’ll comfortably stay up.

    My home town has the oldest football club in the world: Sheffield FC. Although technically their current home is just outside the city in Dronfield, Derbyshire.

    There’s also two professional teams (United and Wednesday).

    It’s home as well to Sandygate, the oldest football ground in the world where Hallam FC play.

    Sheffield is central to the history of football and that fact often gets overlooked.

    I’m from Buenos Aires, so yes… we have a couple teams here 😅 There are 21 professional teams iirc and idk how many amateurs and semi pro.
    But let’s make this answer a little more interesting. I grew up in a town just south of Buenos Aires called Banfield, which has a team with the same name, now playing in the First Division, once a champion and one of the oldest football clubs in Argentina. If you count the whole district in which Banfield is located, Lomas de Zamora, there are other two professional clubs: Los Andes and Temperley.

    No. I’m about an hour from Atlanta in the US so I pull for them and just recently got to a game, but the next closest thing we would have in our town would be high school teams.

    Well… my city is Buenos Aires so a big part of Argentina’s professional football is here, either in the city proper or in the surrounding area.

    If we only count the city proper, we have:

    • Top flight: Argentinos Juniors, Barracas Central, Boca Juniors, Huracán, River Plate, San Lorenzo, Vélez
    • B Nacional (second tier): All Boys, Almagro*, Chacarita Juniors*, Defensores de Belgrano, Ferro, Nueva Chicago, Deportivo Riestra
    • B Metropolitana (third tier): Comunicaciones, Sacachispas
    • Primera C (fourth tier): Deportivo Español, Excursionistas, General Lamadrid, Yupanqui
    • Primera D (fifth tier - not professional): Deportivo Paraguayo, Lugano, Sportivo Barracas

    * These clubs were originally founded and still have their headquarters in the neighborhoods of Almagro and Chacarita respectively, however, their current stadiums are located outside of the city proper.

    So, thats a total of 23 clubs, including several of the biggest clubs of the country. And thats only counting the city proper, which is where i was born and live. If we count the metropolitan area, the amount of clubs increases exponentially, there would be too many to count lol.
