Klubi i Futbollit Invictus Kartha, also known as Invictus Kartha or simply as Invictus is a professional association football club based in Kartha, Galenia. The club currently competes in the SPONSORHERE Kategoria 1, the highest tier of the Galenian football. The club has won several titles throughout its history including 27 SPONSORHERE Kategoria 1, 7 Galenian Cups, 9 Galenian Supercups, and 4 Euclocups. They play their games at the Dhimitri Hasani Stadium in Kartha.

The club was originally founded in 1907 as KF Kartha and it used to play in the second tier of Etrurian football league for almost all of its existence. They played in the Etrurian First Division twice in the seasons of 1921-22 and 1922-23, being the only Galenian team to ever have played in the Etruria top flight. Following Galenia's indepence in 1946 and the creation of the Kategoria 1 in 1948, KF Kartha played all the top tier national championships ever held in independent Galenia. In 1951, willing to expand the club's activity beyond association football, they signed a contract with the Gaullican group Invictus Group de Sports Olympiques, officially changing their name to Invictus Kartha. Nowadays, the club is a national hub in olympic sports such as tennis, gymnastics and swimming.

The club's home stadium is named after one of the founders of the team, but is commonly reffered to as Invictus Arena. It is the biggest stadium in Galenia, with a capacity of 43,550 seats. The stadium is located in the northwest region of the city, where most of the Galo-Piraean population of Kartha is found. The club has the biggest support base in the country, with the highest attendance rate among the SPONSORHERE Kategoria 1 teams. The club is also widely followed in Piraea.

The "Derbi Rrënjor" between Invictus Kartha and Dinamo Kartha is the biggest in Galenia and one of the most traditional in Euclea. Both clubs are constantly disputing to see who is the biggest side in Galenian football. In the international scenario, Invictus Kartha is more successful than Dinamo Kartha, with 2 more Euclocups than their rivals.
