Saintsport Heath is a professional Kelssek football club based on the north coast city of Saintsport in Noua Cymru. Saintsport's most important achievement was winning the 25th Patriotes Cup in 196FE. The club has also won three Kelssek National league titles, the most of any club since the second division's regional split was abolished in 180 FE. Since winning promotion to the Kelssek Championship for the first time in 184-85 FE, the 65th KFL season, they have frequently moved between the top two divisions of the Kelssek Football League. Notably, for the past 13 years they have maintained a yo-yo streak of being promoted to and relegated from the top division in alternate years.
Saintsport saw a meteroic rise after entering the Kelssek Football League, winning the Kelssek Association north region in the 181-82 season and then storming the Kelssek National in 182-83 to win promotion as runners-up. The club won the Patriotes Cup in 196 FE, winning the final against CF Outineau in a penalty shootout, in a season where they also ended up being relegated from the Kelssek Championship. The following season, they reached the last 16 of the Cup Winners' Cup while playing in the second division.
The club's song is "Saintsport Heath Arising". Fans are also known to mock teams they manage to take a lead against with the chant "How shit are you, how shit are you? We're relegated every week, how shit are you?" Although not enjoying as long a history as their bigger neighbouring city's Redswyth Red Stars, Saintsport's spells in the top flight have earned it an increasing following in the Redswyth metropolitan area and an incipient rivalry between the two clubs. The intensity of that is tempered since rugby remains the region's most popular sport.
