AC Lotric, officially Atletique Club de Lotric, is a professional association football club based in Lotric, Midrasia. The club currently competes in Liga Premiére, the highest tier of Midrasian football. The club has won a number of trophies including 10 domestic league titles, 4 Super Cups, and 6 Mydran Cups.
Founded in 1890 AC Lotric is one of the older clubs still operating within the highest tier of Midrasian football and is the oldest football club from the capital of Lotric within Liga Premiére. AC Lotric has spent the vast majority of its life playing within the highest tier of Midrasian football, Liga 1, having only been relegated twice, once in 1914 and again in 1927. Whilst the team was a considerable force within its early life, having been the dominant team from the capital before the 1950s, the team was soon overshadowed by its local rival Olympique de Lotrique. Today the club remains one of the top-6 within Liga Premiére, however the club exists in a precarious position where it is usually regarded as being superior to the likes of Argois SC, FC Ibbené, and Internationale, but unable to compete with the grandees of FC Almiaro and Olympique. Occasionally ACL has been regarded as part of a big-3 with FCA and OdL, though in recent years the club has failed to compete against its two larger rivals. Nevertheless, the club was able to lift its 10th league title within the 2018-19 season, defeating both clubs along the way.
The team play their home games at the Sidariz Stadium which has a capacity of 62,000 making it one of the largest stadium's in the league, though one of the smaller ones within the capital. The club's main following comes from the city of Lotric, primarily the eastern sections of the city.
Fans of the club have long-standing local rivalries against both FC Chasteaulou and Olympique de Lotrique, with both matches regarded as Lotric derbies.
