== History ==

Everything starts after Mihai (A [[Romania|Romanian]] user who has had 5 teams in the past) and Jorge Luis (manager of [[Real George|Bayern George]]) invited Alejandro (AlejandroFC), now manager of the club, to play Hattrick, and as Alejandro accepted, the club exists. The club started to play in Week 3 of [[Global Season|Global Season 38]].

The club was founded on February 10th, 2009 by [[User:AKV-SoccerFan|AKV-SoccerFan]] (Later renamed AlejandroFC). Their first match was against Athletico Guerrero at AKV Stadium, with a victory for AKV Football Club, 5-1.

The first scorer of the club was [[AKV Football Club/Gabriel Grünberg|Gabriel Grünberg]] in the 1st minute of the match, in the first minute of life of the club. Also in the first match in history. The goal came with a magistral free kick shot by him.

In their first season, the club had regular results, finishing 4th in the season. On their second season, the club played their first Mexican Cup, with a tough debut after a strong defeat 0-7 in the AKV Stadium, being eliminated on the first round of the Cup. The club finally got promotion to V division on that season, having won all 14 league matches of the season with a goal difference of +69 (71 goals in favour, 2 goals against), winning their first title ever. At the end of the season, they played their first challenge, a battle between [[Costa Rica]], [[Panamá]] and [[México]], where [[México]] won 34 - 37 to the combined team of [[Costa Rica]] and [[Panamá]], where our team was defeated in their match 2-1 to Doriath F.C. 

The club was promoted to V.181 league, when in their debut, they defeated 7-1 to LAS CHIVITAS DE CHETUMAL (In that time, an also recently promoted team). The club finished 5th in that season, where in the promotion match to avoid relegation, they defeated 2-0 to necaxita. 

In their fourth season, they finally won a Cup match when they defeated 0-9 to Real Colima, in that [[Copa Mexicana|Mexican Cup]] season (our second participation), the club advanced to the third round, and were defeated 3-4 by El Monterrey. In that season (Season 40), we won our second title ever, when, we won the Coquimbo Cup III Edition, after defeat our most-hated rivals Universidad de Coquimbo from [[Chile]] 2-3, yes, their cup, actually, the club are the only team to win the cup if the winner is not Universidad de Coquimbo. That was our second cup in history, and the last at the moment. At the end of the season, talking about the League, the club finished 5th on the league and we won the promotion match to avoid relegation 2-0 to necaxita. 

In Season 41, the club advanced to 4th round of the [[Copa Mexicana|Mexican Cup]], and our club finished 3th on the League. 

After Season 43, our club was placed 5th and played a promotion match to avoid relegation again, this time facing piscila f.c. where the club won 4-2 at the AKV Stadium.

In Season 45, the club got promotion to IV Division, after winning their promotion match by a [[Walkover]], the club was placed in IV.7 for Season 46.

The club is a member of the FIFA.com Club Federation since it's foundation (The club is one of it's Founders). The club has never won a Federation cup, the club's greatest participation came in the seventh edition of the [[FIFA.com Club Federation Cup]], where they reach the final. The club has played all editions of the Cup.

The club have always used the blue and maroon colour for their football kit. The manager had always in his mind the blue for their football club, and in honour of Qatari people, they wear the maroon which appears in the Qatari flag.

The home's kit is blue in it's shirt, and the shorts are maroon. The away's shirt is the contrary of the first kit, where the maroon colour appears in the shirt, while the blue appears in the shorts. Both uniforms use three lines in their shorts.

The socks have always been white. A purpose for a third uniform, wearing All Black, was canceled and only used for 2 matches (2 challenges of that season).

AKV Football Club does not have any sponsor appearing in their uniform. The kit is manufactured by {{flagicon|MEX}} [[AKV Football Club#AKV Sports|AKV Sports]].
