Astograth University Sports Club (Astograthian: Zeladiaklub Astograthiko Unibartzitatea [s̪eˈladjaklub astoˈgɾaðiko unibaɾts̪iˈtatea]), commonly known simply as Astograth University, is a professional football club based in Rumiatzi, Astograth.
The club was founded in the 553rd year of the Astograthian calendar as Rumiatzi University Sports Club, the official professional sports branch of Rumiatzi University. Renamed Astograth University in 613 as part of the university's restructuring, the academic institution's stake in the club has fluctuated over the course of the 7th century; since 663, it is majority owned by the university. They have traditionally worn a halved sky-blue and white shirt with sky-blue shorts and white stockings as their home colours, and have played at the 36,350-capacity Arritzola since their founding. Astograth University were founding members of the Astograthian Football League in 634, and have spent most of their seasons there playing in the First Division. They maintain rivalries of note with several clubs of the Rumiatzi metropolitan area, most notably Athletic Club Rumiatzi, East Railway and Royal Rumiatzi, as well as with Urbizania Wanderers and, in recent years, with Echegoyan FC.
After finishing second in the league in 646 and winning their first Royal Cup in 648, Astograth University established themselves as an important club in Astograthian football and as regular competitors in international football. Domestically, they have won the two First Division titles and 3 Royal Cups, including one domestic double; internationally they have won one edition of the Aéropag Football Invitational and reached the semifinals of the Cup Winners' Cup. Their best result in the UICA Champions’ Cup was twice reaching the Round of 16.
