Club Info

Name

Atlético Comercio was founded on the 23th of February, 2004 as Commercie Utd FC. The name references to the ever increasing importance of economy in football, and therefore the necessary commercial activities of football clubs. After one season the name was changed since the owner preferred the better sounding name Atlético Commercio. Another three seasons later the linguistic error was removed and the club was renamed to Atlético Comercio, the current name.

History

Comercio v0

Atlético Comercio started in VII.138 in Dutch season 11 (global season 22). Although Comercio did not spend money in the early weeks to prevent for beginner mistakes those happened anyway. The first transfers did not bring better players to the squad, later transfers almost caused bankruptcy in the second season. Furthermore did Comercio not replace the weak trainer early on, and did not train in the first season and very badly in the second season with the weak trainer and also weak players. The best example of weak management was a MOTS in the first season against the superior champion (1-8 loss), therefore also losing the last two matches and missing promotion, although that probably would've been a disaster itself.

Comercio v1

In the third season Atlético Comercio had sold most of their best players. In three consequential weeks three good goalkeepers were promoted from the youth, two of them were trained that season. After that season one was sold to give funds for a few playmaking trainees and some experienced players to ensure promotion. Due to a line-up mistake against the main competitor Comercio did not became champion, but with a second place VII.134 could be left behind. From that moment the strategy did not change for many seasons. The best trained midfielders were sold to buy new trainees and slight improvements in defence and offence. With this strategy Atlético Comercio improved slowly over time. In the first season in VI.755 the club managed to survive with a fifth place, the second season a third place was accomplished, far behind the the championship contesters.

In the third season there seemed to be two main contesters again, with Atlético Comercio destined to be best of the rest. In the fifth match, against one of the protagonists, Comercio successfully tried a 4-5-1 formation with stacked wing. The second half of the season this tactics also worked both away matches against the competitors. All other matches also ended in a win, and Atlético Comercio turned out to be champion on goal difference. Since a MOTS was used the last match to ensure the championship the qualification match was a bridge too far (5-2 loss). The season afterwards this could not repeat this level of performance, and Comercio ended second nine points behind the champion. And altough the fifth season at VI.755 resembled the third season with the perfect score in the second half in the season, this time the championship wasn't reached because the competitor had a better goal difference.

To be continued.

Comercio v2

Atlético Comercio will "upgrade" in the near future. Stay tuned to discover Comercio 2.0.

Flag chasing

When Atlético Comercio is not active in the KNVB Beker, a friendly cup or a clash, Stef310 tries to collect some flags. The table below shows which flags have been collected, and in what season.
