Another Greco-Italian club is Hellas Verona...

Founded in 1903 by a group of high school students, the club was named Hellas (the Greek word for Greece), at the request of a professor of Classics.[citation needed] At a time in which football was played seriously only in the larger cities of the Northwest of Italy, most of Verona was indifferent to the growing sport. However, when in 1906 two city teams chose the city's Roman amphitheatre as a venue to showcase the game, crowd enthusiasm and media interest began to rise.

[quote]A Greek amateur team Voukefalas will wear practice shirts emblazoned with the logos of two local brothels, one of which features a suggestively prancing horse.
"Villa Erotica" and "Soula's House of History" (!!) stepped in to plug some of Voukefalas' financial losses, but players also have an additional incentive to perform, as 67-year-old madam Soula Alevirdou has promised them "special time" on the house each time they win.

No, I think it was Bananiot.

8/3rds pi*R cubed. It was also Phonecian.

To remain on topic... No Phoenician football teams exist today though...

Likewise though ball games were played throughout the world throughout recorded history there are no ancient Greek teams left either, only modern teams since there is no history for these teams (or any team) much beyond the start of the 20th Century, the modern game of football (soccer for WC) which they play being largely developed in Britain.

I think the above are in reference to Ancient Greece.
If they had any bearing to the modern state I'd acknowledge it.
