History

Establishment 1905–1928

Rikardo Sterling, also known as the first father of Rakeoian football

Established in 1905, the football team was originally viewed as a vanity project of wealthy businessman Rikardo Sterling. The team's first appearances were promotions of his company's pharmaceuticals, some of which were handed out as free samples at home games. With an increasing feelings of Rakeoian independence in the 1910s, the team was rebranded as 'the national football team' despite not having governmental approval. This landed them in legal troubles that were drawn out for the next three years- But by 1913, the team was acquitted, and the stunt had gained them island-wide attention. As time went on, Sterling began to disassociate the team from his other businesses.

By 1918, Sterling was facing intense scrutiny after allegations of peddling illicit substances. His reputation in shambles and facing possible legal action, he surrendered the football team as governmental property. Ownership of the team was given as a privilege for whomever became first prime minister of the Second Republic of Rakeo, under the understanding that it would be head of the Committee for the Future of Rakeo, Chale Ains.

Chale Ains created the Ains Football Limited as the official governing football organization, moving the originally governmental asset into his family's assets in 1919. The resulting scandal drove the Ainses out of mainstream politics. However, the company was permitted to continue because of an agreement Ains had reached with the to-be prime minister.

Terraconserva Cup years 1928–1956

Departure 1956–1975

The football team made the 1952 cup while the 1951 Ardent Peace Agreement was still in effect. When the peace ended, the team disbanded and attempt to get asylum in [country where the 1952 Terraconserva cup happened]. As the civil war in Rakeo drew to a close in 1955, the question of whether the new Stratocratic Republic would send a team to the 1956 Cup was quickly answered by official dismantling of Ains Football Limited.
