Club history
Founded in 2020 during the Corona-crisis, Corinthians was named after the London-based club Corinthian Football Club, famed for its ethos of "sportsmanship, fair play, [and] playing for the love of the game". The crest on the club emblem is the symbol of the flag of the Arpitan minority.
Corinthians' official policy is communicating in Arpitan language; part of the regional identity. Arpitan language courses are offered by the club to new foreign players who have the duty to use and promote the language in communication channels and media. This made Corinthians the face of the cultural region Arpitania, which includes parts of Switzerland, France and Italy.
Support
The nickname Arpencs for a Corintians' supporters means Alpine people in arpitan.
Rivalry
The club's primary rivals are the clubs based in Paris. Most of the Corinthians fans are from small villages from the entire province and are very proud of their Arpitan identity. Since the Corinthians joined Hattrick, the club have been expressing this Arpitan pride to the rest of the France. The Arpitan flag, language and all Arpitan symbols were linked to the club, which made Arpitan Corinthians FC the face of the cultural region Arpitania.
Paris is widely seen as the embodiment of the oppressive centralism in France. Corinthians' fans are mockingly calling the Parisians by the Arpitan word Monchus (English: pretentious men). Despite these differences in ideology between Paris and the Arpitans, the organized matches are always keeping a sportive character.
