The Flat Earth Soccer Team ─ VICE

In 2019 Flat Earth FC, a Madrid based team, became the first football club in the world to represent an idea rather than a geographic location. Instigated by the club's president Javi Poves, he renamed his relatively unknown, third division football club Flat Earth FC, changing the logo, kit and football chant to reflect his belief that Earth is flat.

His aim? To widen his fanbase and galvanize the support of die hard conspiracy fans whilst spreading the word of the Flat Earth theory. Ahead of their first match, VICE follow Flat Earther FC to see if they really believe Earth is flat and to see if they could secure a victory against an ever so mundane, heliocentric team!
