Blue Mountain Range Football Club (Astograthian: Futbolklub Mendilorro Ardin) (Astograthian pronunciation: [ˈfutbolklub menðiˈloro ˈaɾðin]), commonly known as Blue Mountain Range, is a professional football club based in the city of Echegoyan, Astograth.
Founded in the 518th year of the Astograthian calendar, they have traditionally worn an all-sky-blue kit as their home colours. They have played at the 34,000-capacity Ximun Orieta Sporting Ground since its construction in 547, sharing it with fierce rivals Echegoyan FC until Echegoyan's move to Silanes Park in 651. Blue Mountain Range were founding members of the Astograthian First Division in 634, and played there continuously from 639 to 659. After the refounding of the Astograthian Football League in 674, Blue Mountain Range qualified to the First Division as champions of the regional Blue Mountain Challenge Series, and have remained in the top flight since. Besides their emnity with Echegoyan FC, known as the Echegoyan Derby and frequently described as the most violent rivalry in Astograth, BMR also maintain a notable local rivalry with Miners FC, also based in Echegoyan.
Despite not yet winning any major national honours, Blue Mountain Range have established themselves as First Division regulars and are considered one of the league's traditional teams, holding several all-time records in the top flight. Notably, they are tied with Echegoyan FC in fourth place for most First Division seasons played and are the club with the most seasons in the top tier to have never won the championship. BMR's youth academy is regarded as one of the best in the country, and the club are known for having maintained a defensive playing style in the vein of Rejistanian karela for more than a century. Blue Mountain Range have competed once in the UICA Series B Champions’ Cup and once in the IFCF Challengers Cup, being eliminated in the preliminary rounds of both.
