Echegoyan Football Club (Astograthian: Futbolklub Echegoyan) (Astograthian pronunciation: [ˈfutbolklub etʃegoˈʎan]), commonly known as Echegoyan FC, is a professional football club based in the city of Echegoyan, Astograth.
Founded in the 530th year of the Astograthian calendar, they have traditionally worn a striped green and white shirt with green shorts and stockings as their home colours. They have played at the 55,140-capacity Silanes Park, built to host World Cup 62, since 650, moving in from their previous home at the Ximun Orieta Sporting Ground. Echegoyan FC were founding members of the Astograthian First Division in 634, and have played there continuously until being relegated at the end of the 686 season. They maintain a virulent rivalry with Blue Mountain Range, with whom they play the Echegoyan Derby, and a significant though less intense local rivalry with Miners FC. In recent years, a rivalry has also developed with Astograth University, whom they have faced in First Division relegation battles and in the Second Division
After finishing second in 642 and winning their first league title in 644, Echegoyan FC established themselves as one of the most powerful clubs in Astograth and as regular competitors in international football. Domestically, they have won 3 First Division titles and 1 Royal Cup; internationally they have won one edition of the Ides of March Cup, reached the final of the Rushmore Copa de Campeones, and twice reached the quarterfinals of the UICA Champions’ Cup. After the refounding of the Astograthian First Division in 674, Echegoyan found it difficult to re-establish their prior dominance, and in the 680s frequently faced the prospect of relegation. At the end of the 686 season they suffered their first relegation to the Second Division in almost 50 years, before returning to the top flight the following year.
