Harris's Lads Football Club is a professional association football club based in Fruxilli, Veleaz. The club currently competes in Divisón Superior, the highest tier of Veleazan football. The club is the second most successful clubs in Veleaz, having won a number of trophies including 23 domestic league titles, 17 AVF Cup, and 7 Federal Cup titles.
Founded in 1887 by a group of Newreyan sailors, HLFC quickly became one of the strongest forces in Veleazan football, regularly challenging for league titles throughout the team's history. The team is seen as the grandfather of Veleazan football, due to it being the oldest Veleazan club, along with CA Nacional, the second oldest club and often referred to the grandmother of Veleazan football, having dominated the top tier of Veleazan football for much of the modern age. HLFC his the only club to have never been relegated or suspended from the top tier of Veleazan football, after the League's founding in 1880.
The team's home stadium is the El Patio (The Yard), which holds a capacity of 50,033 making it the second largest football stadium in the country, after the national team's Campo Nacional. The club has a considerable domestic following, mostly coming from the northern portion of Fruxilli and the surrounding provinces of Guipúzcoa and Medina-Sidonia.
HLFC has several domestic and international rivalries, the most notable being La Pelea (The Brawl) against Club VRS Náyade, considered the most dangerous derby in Aeia due to the historical antagonism between the two teams and the scale of violence that occurs during the matches, and Pelea de Abuelos against CA Nacional.
