Gestoria Football Club, often called Gestoria or The Blazers, is an association football team in Gestoria in the Kingdom of Frankenlisch, Vionna-Frankenlisch. The club competes in the Crown League, the top tier of Vionna-Frankenlischian football. Their home ground is the Sir Gerald Smythe Stadium since 1986. It is named after the 15th-century Frankenlischian knight Sir Gerald Smythe.

Gestoria FC was founded in 1904 when the clubs Gestoria Dockers F.C., The Duke of Gestoria's AFC, and Gestoria Brewers F.C. amalgamated to form the City AFC and purchased City Park where they played until 1984. Renamed Gestoria City F.C. in 1908 and finally Gestoria FC in 1911. During the Red Decade, Gestoria competed in the Worker's League as Gestoria Proletariat. Currently the largest of many teams from the Duchy of Gestoria, Gestoria F.C. has traditionally competed at the top tier but did not win a title until the 2019-20 season.
