The Saint George Stadium is a Drevstranese professional Gridiron football team based in Angrast' metropolitan area. The club has existed, in one form or another, since the 1910s and is considered one of the most iconic sport team in Drevstran and one of the greatest Gridiron franchise. At home, they compete in the National Division 1, the highest league of professional Gridiron in Drevstran, but they are also founding members of the Belisarian Gridiron League. The franchise also include a feminine, a junior, and an amateur section.

History

During the Drevstranese Civil War, Ottonian volunteers brought with them Gridiron football which quickly became popular among the units alongside which they served. Stranded in Drevstran because of Ottonia' own civil war between 1917 and 1919, these volunteers ended founding a Gridiron club, the Ottonian Club, the first sport club entirely dedicated to Gridiron in Drevstran. In reaction, Drevstraneses veterans founded their own Gridiron club and began organising regular games with their Ottonian counterparts. Both clubs are then strongly associated with the military and in 1920 members of both teams were part of the Drev-Ottonian Expeditionary Force to participate in the Ottonian Civil War. There, Drevstraneses soldiers had the occasion to learn more about the sport and play against other Ottonian teams. Back to Angrast two years later, veterans installed their club in the St-George Sport Field and renamed it after their new home field. This is generally considered the official founding of St-George Stadium.
