Santos Luega is a professional football club playing in the top division of Pasarga, the SuperLiga. It takes its name from the Santos district in the city of Paulinthal, where it was originally founded by foreign merchants who had settled in the district. It is (in)famous among Pasargan clubs, as only recruiting players from the Santos district or who speak a variant of the Santiguan language.
History
Santos Luega was founded in the spring of 1899, like the majority of the founding clubs of the original Pasargan league, prior to the first season of the Pasargan First Division. Drawing from its location within the Santos district, the club recruited all of their team from the district, a practice that they have mostly kept to since in its inception with a few exceptions. This exclusive policy has earned it some heavy resentment from the rest of the clubs in the nation, but it is a historical practice that the club has taken pride in.

Rivalries
CA Paulinthal
This is a bitter rivalry between two of the three biggest clubs in Paulinthal, both of whom were founded by immigrants but with totally different ideas on how to run a club. CAP is seen as an inclusive club for all while Santos has their infamous recruiting policy, making the two very bitter rivals, especially being within a few blocks of one another.
