Petrolina Football Club: The Underdogs with a Kick of Humor
Who Are They Anyway?
Imagine a team born from the fumes of a bustling gas station—yes, Petrolina! They might not win the Champions League, but they definitely win the “Most Likely to Make You Laugh” award. Their players are so passionate, they often forget whether they’re playing football or trying to start a lawnmower.
Team Mascot: The Gas Pump
Their official mascot is a giant, inflatable gas pump named “Pumpy.” Rumor has it, Pumpy pumps up the fans more than the players on match day. During halftime, he often attempts to “refuel” the crowd with his hilarious antics and unintentional slapstick.
Legendary Moments
One time, during a crucial match, their striker tripped over the corner flag—fell flat on his face, then scored with his back! The referee was so surprised he awarded the goal anyway, saying, “Well, that’s one way to do it.” Petrolina’s motto? “We may not be the best, but we’re definitely the funniest.”
