FC Hellingbourg is a professional association football club based in Berghelling, Midrasia. The club currently competes in Liga Premiére, the highest tier of Midrasian football. Hellingbourg have only won one major trophy in their history, claiming the Copa de Mydra in 1954 after defeating FC Mydroll on penalties in the final.
Founded in 1901 by Reverend Estienne Aubert, FC Hellingbourg was set up as to counter their cross-town rivals Vaelleniana who at the time only allowed native Vaellenians to play for their team. By contrast, Hellingbourg only allowed Orthodox Alydian descendants of Midrasian settlers to play for their team. Hellingbourg spent much of their early years in Liga 2, only gaining promotion to Liga 1 in 1944. For most of their life in Liga 1 the team remained mid-table, a position they are seen to have retained to this day.
The team play their home games at the Stade Aubert which is branded the Stade NorteBanque for sponsorship reasons. The stadium has a capacity of 40,000 and is located in the south-west of the city of Berghelling. The team have a large following from the city of Berghelling and the wider Vaellenia region. Fans of the club are primarily made up of the descendants of Midrasian settlers who came to Vaellenia between the Fifteenth and Seventeenth centuries.
Fans of Hellingbourg have a long-standing rivalry with cross-town rivals Vaelleniana. Matches between the two sides are known as the Berghelling derby and in the past have been some of the most violent clashes in Midrasian football, with both sets of fans embroiled in sectarianism rooted within the makeup of each fan base. The club also has a minor rivalry with Skaer Thiaric another team from the Vaellenia region.
