Gesterlake FC (Astograthian: Futbolklub Gesterlake [ˈfutbolklub gesteɾˈlake]) is a professional football club based in Gesterlake, Astograth.
Founded in the 507th year of the Astograthian calendar, they have traditionally worn a yellow shirt with dark blue shorts and yellow stockings as their home colours. They have played at the 38,630-capacity Castle Hill in central Gesterlake since 542. Gesterlake FC were founding members of the Astograthian Football League in 634, earning promotion to the second tier in 639 and to the First Division in 644, eventually becoming top-flight regulars. They have a major, long-standing rivalry with Royal Arexa, with whom they play the Twin Cities Derby, and a somewhat more subdued rivalry with Antiguoko FC and Berlasko FC.
Despite not winning any major national honours, Gesterlake FC have established themselves as First Division regulars and have occasionally challenged for spots in international football. They entered the UICA Globe Cup three times, failing to advance a round each time. Otherwise, their best international result is reaching the quarter-finals of the UICA Series B Champions’ Cup.
