Latrobe Athletic and Football Club is a professional multi-sports club known primarily for its rugby union and football teams, which both play in Kelssek's highest leagues, the Rugby Superleague and Kelssek Football League, respectively. Known for most of its history as Latrobe AFC, the club made the controversial decision to go by "Latrobe Athletic" in 145 FE.
Both the rugby and football team have provincial rivalries with Clayquot-based teams. The rugby section has contested the People's Cup challenge trophy against the Clayquot Reds for over 150 years. The football section's version of this rivalry is against Clayquot City.
Latrobe Athletic is the first Kelssek sports club to have reached an international final, losing in the 35th Rugby Union Challenge Trophy to the Torino Terriers of Neu Engollon. It was also the first Kelssek team to reach an international club football final, losing to FC Yassaca in Challengers Cup 6.
