[Football] Teams from around the world with unusual names

[Blue3]

I was reading a BBC article regarding England's Game tonight in the a Woman's World Cup and it mentioned Ada Hegerberg, who has chosen not to represent Norway despite being voted as the world's best player.
Intrested to try and find out more I Wikipedia her name with no luck finding out why she's not playing but as an aside I did discover she had played for a Norwegian team call "FL Fart" where she ripped through defences and when she left created quite a stink which got me thinking what other teams have amusing names
