Strathcona Internationals F.C. is a professional football club based in Vickery, the provincial capital of Conryia, Kelssek. The club was founded in 18 BFE by a group of expatriate workers to enter the Conryia Provincial Cup and city-level competitions, taking the name of the industrial quarter south of central Vickery which, today, is highly gentrified with the factories and warehouses converted to loft apartments.

Strathcona are sometimes nicknamed "The Globalists", originally a piss-take by fans of other clubs. This dates to the club's only league title win in KFL season 60, the year after UICA's collapse. Although expecting to take part in the Dwile Invitational the paperwork was allegedly lost and the club were thus denied their opportunity to play in international competition. The club president subsequently complained that Football Kelssek and international authorities were in a conspiracy against Strathcona. The following season, their away match to provincial derby rivals Mazinaw Vanorian saw taunts of "alien chemtrails, they're coming for you", Mazinaw fans in tinfoil hats, and the Strathcona players greeted with a tifo depicting them being abducted by a UFO and the words "I want to believe".

At the time, Strathcona's title win was moderately surprising as they had been promoted two seasons before and were considered a mid-table club. There was thus a bit of desperation as many fans thought they might never get such a chance again. Subsequently, and quite ironically, Strathcona became the first Kelssek football club to win an important international trophy, the 11th Vilitan Cove Invitational.

The club have traditionally worn green home colours but switched to predominantly yellow-gold home colours from the 71st KFL season, when the league issued guidelines against predominantly green jerseys in a measure intended to make teams easier to distinguish for persons with colour-blindness.
