dylanisabaddog 4,858 Posted March 16, 2021 Not Norwich City related but let's face it, we're up now so my attention has turned elsewhere. Is Borussia Mönchengladbach the longest club name in world football? Excuse the bold letters. Defeated by technology again Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
K Lo 221 Posted March 16, 2021 Borussia Mönchengladbach - 23 characters Brighton and Hove Albion - 24 characters (OK, 22 if you use "&" instead of "and") Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Branston Pickle 3,632 Posted March 16, 2021 Could well be - I believe Brighton might be the longest English team Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You have to go by the club's official name, in which case it's ö. That said Bright's club badge uses "&" but then there's:Inverness Caledonian Thistle - 26 characters.

TheGunnShow 5,925 Posted March 17, 2021 There was a five-a-side team in a local league that called themselves Borussia Munchenflapjack. For some reason, my team-name suggestions of Spasstik Moscow and HIV Eindhoven did not go down too well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
