Vovilveante XCT is a highly successful football club in Hiblund. It currently has 14 Shodiax (Piruen Iede) victories, which is more than any other club in the entire Shodiax League. They also have 4 ACLC Championships and 2 ACLC Runner-ups. The club was originally formed as a team in the Xaire Iede in 1948 during the Sciedfelt Stretch, with the name Vovilveante Sprevin. They were transferred to the Shodiax League system in 1962, as the Xaire was losing hope of continuing, and they switched names to Vovilveante XCT.[1]
Founding
Unlike some other teams that were originally in the Xaire Iede, this team was not in a minor Harletical Iede level. The Xaire was composed of 60 teams with three levels, thought of as relatively small. Vovilveante Sprevin was founded in March 1948, fully funded via the Xaire itself. The executives of the team were given the chance to recruit any unemployed player in Hiblund, which they succeeded immensely in. Due to the unknown potential of the 35 completely new clubs, the Xaire hosted a Preseason in spring of 1949, where each club would play 15 random teams to interpret which level they would start in. Vovilveante Sprevin was finished with a record of 9-4-2, which was good enough to put them into the highest level. They would start their first season later that year.
Spending in Xaire
Vovilveante Sprevin took its future seriously, reaching out to young potential rather than mid-career stars. The club was ready to play and impress all of the other clubs funded by the Xaire, trying to push their potential to the limit. They began their spell in the first possible year and ended it in the last possible year, meanwhile winning five titles. Needless to say, to believe that they succeeded in their goal would be a heavy understatement. Their first three seasons were pretty rough, placing mid-table each year, however, things started to pick up after taking a new head coach/owner[2], Fielvren Thaer. Their hot streak lasted until the league's slightly expected folding.

Transfer to Shodiax
Of all the leagues that were crumbling under the popularity of the Shodiax League, the Xaire Iede was by far the most successful. There was an unspoken agreement that the Xaire Iede would soon fold and leave all its clubs stranded. In the offseason of 1962, the Shodiax League took notice of their decline in sales and popularity, and out of pity, offered to take a few of their clubs into their league, and in exchange, pay off a decade's worth of expected sales.[3] The Xaire knew that if they did not accept this offer, they would not be able to make the profit that they would if they agreed to the deal. So, with a defeating sigh, the Xaire agreed to this offer and sent the 10 best teams from their previous season to the Shodiax League, this including Vovilveante Sprevin. Vovilveante Sprevin was given no other choice but to accept and change their name to Vovilveante XCT, the abbreviation at the end being added to all clubs a part of this transfer. The club would start in the very next Shodiax season, in the system's newly-founded sixth level.

Early Adjustments
Vovilveante XCT certainly had mixed feelings about the transfer, as it brought new opportunities, but also lead to a lot of work was needed in order to promote into the Piruen, as it was extremely difficult to adjust to the new level of competition. Along with this, there was a lot of change referring to name, jerseys, and ground at the time, suggesting the attitude of an identity crisis. The club comfortably moved through the bottom two levels in a matter of three seasons, facing region-wide teams in contrast to other clubs based in Vovilveante. They took another four seasons to promote into the third level.
Early Years under Hasken
The year after Vovilveante XCT's initial promotion to the third level, Thaer decided to step down from the owner and head coach position. Although he was sad to announce that he would not lead his beloved team to the main Shodiax Leagues, he handed the position who he thought would put a new and positive twist to how the club was run. Drev Hasken was selected as the new head coach from this point onwards, and unlike Thaer, was very young when starting the position.
It didn't take very long for the club to get fully introduced and used to Hasken's plans for the team. After losing in the promotion playoff finals three times in a row, Vovilveante XCT finally advanced into the second level, into the Vaitrel, in the 1976 offseason. After the advancing to the Vaitrel, it took another few years in order to complete their objective: to advance into the Piruen Iede.[4] Now they took it to their priority list to go beyond their goal and win a title.

Other Competitions
Over the course of its existence, Vovilveante XCT has never refrained from accepting extra competitions outside their Shodiax season. Unlike some other clubs, VOX will take all of these matches seriously and won't hold back for the sake of the regular season.
Anterian Champion's League Cup
The ACLC is an international cup for clubs, of which the Shodiax Piruen Iede typically contains 4 qualification spots. Vovilveante XCT has qualified 30 times in its history, its first appearance being in 1986. After qualifying many times but with little success, VOX finally made its first championship appearance in 2005, and won. After this win, VOX has had a more positive look on the ACLC, and during its golden ages especially, took a respected platform in the competition and has accumulated 4 championship victories and 3 runner-ups, including a runner-up to Spartak Pyor in the most recent tournament in 2021. VOX has qualified for the ACLC 12 consecutive seasons, with this streak still ongoing today.
Assilic Ciumervaii
The Assilic Ciumervaii is a minor tournament between Hiblund and its former territory Frarstizk. The qualification for this tournament has the same amount of spots as the ACLC with 4, but the only real accomplishment is if you make the finals, where the two nation's top clubs meet. VOX has made the International Final 12 times, winning 8 of them. Their first International Final appearance was in 1992, and despite not winning the Piruen that year, won the whole thing over Emel Smatt 04. VOX has never been to appreciative of the competition, but still takes it seriously as it's in the offseason and there's nothing else to focus on. Of the 4 runner-ups its had, 3 of them are lost to the powerhouse franchise club Sporting Maegnitersburg, and the Assilic record between the two is even at 3-3.
HFZ Kurn
The HFZ Kurn is the dometic tournament for the Shodiax League System and the Hiblundiiun Football Association, with every club in the Piruen and Vaitrel automatically qualifying, and the other slots being on the complex side to establish. Unlike the other competitions, Vovilveante XCT has a low respect for the tournament, as it is put together "sloppily" along with other aspect being simply "unorganized". Despite this, the club has managed to acquire 5 titles in its franchise, and it would have been much more if the Vaitrel Iede Protests had not stopped the tournament from 2014-2019, which is a large portion of the golden ages. This had upset them, and although VOX has not put full effort into the competition, they are still one of the best clubs in the competition.
