CA Paulinthal is a professional football club playing in the first division of the SuperLiga. It is named in the naming conventions of the sailors who brought the game to Pasarga. The club is the first recorded football club to be founded in Pasarga, three years prior to the formation of the Pasargan Footballing Association. The club's stadium is not far from the city's major port, having been originally founded by merchants, sailors, and marines; for whom the club takes its nickname of the Hurricane.
History
CA Paulinthal was founded in 1896 by many of the merchants, sailors, and others who based themselves in the portside city for trade. The club claims to be the first recorded football club in the nation, although Club Stein-los contests the claim saying they were formed in the winter of 1895, although records do not mention the Stein-los club until weeks after the forming of CA Paulinthal.

Rivalries
Club Stein-los
This rivalry started when both clubs claimed to be the first club founded in Pasarga. The Hurricane maintain that they were, while Club Stein-los maintains their claim to having been formed months before in the winter of 1895. This rivalry then intensified nearly half a century later, after Club Stein-los lost its place as the best club in the nation and was usurped by the Paulinthal club.
Tanrısal
This is a rivalry of new money, CAP from its unexpected rise to prominence during the 1930s and since, and Tani who were an old money club having been founded by rich owners. It became a competitive rivalry as the two clubs have over time become the two most successful clubs in Pasarga with the most and second most top flight titles respectively.
Santos Luega
Where many can see CA Paulinthal as an inclusive club who welcome fans from all walks of life and across the world, the Tecos are then the antithesis of them. A club who only takes in players of a certain language and/or heritage, Santos is not an every mans club and they are just a few blocks away from CAP. The proximity and differences in culture make this a very heated rivalry.
Paulinthal FC
Where CAP might have an intense rivalry with Santos due to proximity, the derby with Paulinthal FC is very different. There is more of a friendly vibe to the game when these two clubs clash and more of a case of who can hold bragging rights and likely to impress the numerous young prospects in attendance trying to decide which academy to apply to.
