History
AC Coranimus
The club was actually found on the 24th of December 2005, at 11 January 2006 the club was approved and classified in a competition. The club was called AC Coranimus, it was the third club of manager Eddox after he had managed SC Re-Union and FC Como.Ros'67. Coranimus started in the 12th division of Holland, the XII.17. Before the first leaguematch a friendly was scheduled against sdouc. Players were bought and played their first match for Coranimus that evening, the match ended in a 2-2 draw.
Then the leaguematches began with a 6-1 win against FC Angelos, also the seven upcoming leaguematches resulted in victories. Then they lost against AFCA1973, they won against Jari but then they lost again. This time Owning Team was too strong, one week later Angelos was too strong. Coranimus wasn't the leader of the XII.17 anymore. The last match was against champion FC Heer United, it ended up in a 1-1 draw. AC Coranimus was sure of a walk higher up.
They came in the 9th divsion, the IX.1156. Although they were favourite to become champion, again they couldn't win at the right moments. They took the 3rd place in the league, they had too play in that league again.
Forza ACCO
The teamname was changed after a disappointing season, AC Coranimus was now called Forza ACCO. ACCO was ready to become champion, this time it went well. After 14 leaguematches the club was at the first place and got a cup and medal, the coach and manager were very delighted. 12 victories and 2 draws, the opponents couldn't make it ACCO difficult.
They promoted to the 8th division, the VIII.1118. The club continued their solid run but changed their organisation. They normally trained playmakers, now they wanted to train wingers. Some players had to leave, new players were bought. It causes some difficulties in the team, therefore the club ended fifth in the VIII.1118.
FeijenoordRotterdam
So the last season named Forza ACCO was over, it wasn't the best season. The club was now named FeijenoordRotterdam and played cupfootball, the first time in history. That level was too high for Feijenoord, they lost with 0-3 against Mozzarella. The league started very well with victories against strong teams like Patras and Hamster United. Feijenoord was at the top in the VIII.1118 again. With a good run they maintained their leading position, the club became champion in the VIII.1118.
Dinamo Vorwärts
Because of an Austrian investment the club changed from name, to Dinamo Vorwärts. It promoted to the VII.77, a very difficult season was expected. Manager Eddox had a difficult start and couldn't decide about targets for this season. But Dinamo surprised and won much matches, and also important matches. Then the end came, some difficult opponents. Because of good tactics the club won of GGD and HuisTuin, it brought Dinamo Vorwärts at the lead in the VII. They became champion and were sure of promotion to the sixth division.
The sixth division became a hard one, the club invested in new players like Albrecht Nieuwenhuize. Salim Katib and Arcadie Burca had to leave. They came in the VI.32 as underdog, the first weeks were difficult. The first four matches only brought 4 points, the club decided to appoint a new coach within' some weeks. Chiriac Nistor, who already played at the club, became coach and the club continued their tough run. The difference in points were very little, it took till the last matches to decide who became champion and who relegates. Dinamo relegated after a tough loss against Totsi Power.
RV&AV Feijenoord
Again the club changed, it looked like a toy for manager Eddox. The fans became angry while Eddox bought players like Cruz, Schoenmaker, Larsson, Damaschin, Nielsen and Dos Santos (all played for Feyenoord in real life). After they lost the cupmatch versus ThreeSixty and the first leaguematch against AFC Pudding the manager wasn't satisfied with his last weeks at the club. He decided to bring the club to a higher level. Players like Cruz had to leave again and some young, decent strikers were bought. The team again looked like the big teams which became champion in the history. Then Eddox also decided to change the teamname to La Metropoli as of next season.

Logo
The logo of La Metropoli is one with symbols. Basic is the skyline of a city, a character of our teamname. The clouds in front and at the back of the towers are 'the poor seasons' of the club. The two birds are hope, for a better future. The football only says football, nothing more and nothing less.
