'''Fußball-Klub Frehmenwerther Kickers e.V. 1908''', commonly known as simply '''Frehmenwerther Kickers''', '''EffKah''' or '''FKFK''', is a football club based in [[Frehmenwerth]], the capital city of [[Hendalarsk]], which competes in the [[Hendalarskaras Bundesliga]], the top domestic division in the country. Founded as ''Fussballspielgesellschaft „Frehmenwerther-Kickers-Klub“ e.V. 1908'', the club adopted its current name in 1929, with the substitution of "Fußball" for "Fussball" in 1973 the only change of note in that time. The club plays at the [[FK-FK-Arena]] in central Frehmenwerth and has done so since 1929; this central location has historically made expansion of the ground difficult, but it is now one of the largest stadia in the country.

Frehmenwerther Kickers were a founder member of the Hendalarskaras Bundesliga and have never been relegated from the division, one of very few clubs to hold that distinction. They are also the most successful team in the division's history, having won the title on 26 occasions between 1931 and 2018 and dozens of cups. They retain a fierce rivalry with [[Rapid-Frehmenwerth]], perennial challengers for major honours, as well as with smaller Frehmenwerther clubs such as [[Viktoria Frehmenwerth]] and [[Lechia Wremenverda]].

==Club culture==
Derisively referred to as a "regime team" by their rivals due to a perceived cosiness with the Hendalarskara government, the Kickers have a history of success and a notably impatient fanbase which demands future success of its managers. The club's ultras, the ''Nordbrigáde'' (so-called because of their traditional position in the FK-FK-Arena's North Stand), are the most fanatical fan group, and during the era of widespread fan disorder that characterised Hendalarskara football in the 1970s were notorious for their conflicts with rival groups. An extremist offshoot of the group, the ''Sonenkämfer'' ("Warriors of the Sun"), were responsible for a string of murders in 1978 and 1979, and their activities have been used by rivals to denounce the team (often cynically) as in some sense existentially right-wing. Recent years have belied this; the club is at the forefront of efforts towards LGBTQ and ethnic minority inclusion in Hendalarskara football. The club's continued success has nevertheless led to a widespread perception that many of its modern fans are "elitist" and/or "plastic"<ref>Joining in order to be associated with success rather than out of any real emotional connection to the club.</ref>, an impression which is hardly helped by former manager and club legend Andréas Hofen's oft-quoted remark "We're not elitist, we treat all our equals with respect - it just so happens that we don't have any equals!"
===Rivalries and alliances===
The club's rivalry with [[Rapid-Frehmenwerth]], the [[Hauptstadsch Derby]], is among the most fiercely-contested fixtures in world football; many league seasons have hinged on the outcome of these games, with the momentum and bragging rights gained by the winner just as important as the swing in the standings. The most notorious instance of the rivalry remains the final game of the 1991-92 season, when Rapid arrived at the FK-FK-Arena two points behind the Kickers and thereby required a win at the ground of their hated rivals to clinch the league title. Rapid duly won through a 91st-minute free-kick struck by [[Lukas Horstenmeyer]], sparking delirious celebrations among the away contingent and a pitch invasion by the irate home fans which took thousands of security personnel to disperse. The Kickers have nevertheless dominated the 2020s in Hendalarskara football, whereas Rapid have undergone a decline over the same period. Other rivalries include smaller local derbies with lower-division teams [[Wiktoria Frémenwerd]] and [[Khunyeria Vremenverda]]. The Kickers also maintain a long-running competitive rivalry with [[Wiktoría Zalgisbeck]], [[Zalgisbeck|the northern metropolis]]' most successful team, although this is far friendlier than the rivalry with Rapid.
 
The club retains a large international following, and its frequent presence in continental competition has sparked both rivalries and friendships abroad, among them a particularly close relationship with the fans of [Yonderian club] - the two clubs frequently host testimonial matches for each others' long-serving players, and competitive continental meetings are almost always an occasion for reunions and mutual respect regardless of results on the pitch.
