max Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 Tourbillon FCFrench-English translation: "whirlpool"The soccer team to which this name belongs is based in N'Djamena, Chad on the border with Cameroon, on the opposite side of the country from Darfur in the capital city.I think this name would work best with teams associated with water-sports or teams based near large bodies of water. N'Djamena is very close to Lake Chad.The Chad Premier League 2009 teams (all teams based in N'Djamena)1. Gazelle FC (league champs)2. Renaissance FC (most prolific Tchadienne team in history, beautiful team name)3. Tourbillon FC (1 of 3-5 great Chad teams in the history of the Premier League)4. AS CotonTchad (Cameroonian counterparts AS Cotonsport are a bit better, but this is a good team too)5. ELECT Sport (shortened from "Tout Puissant ELECT Sport de la Société Tchadienne d?Eau et d?Electricité")6. Foullah Edifice (Chad is mostly Arab, but citizens also speak French)7. AS DGSSIE (no idea what this is short for)8. Toumai (the last letter has two dots instead of the one, "Too-ma-EE")9. Postel 2000 (must be the postal service?)10. NBK FC (team relegated after 2009 season ended August 23, used to be "Petro Sport FC")11. Faucon Sporting ("Faucon" means "Falcon" in French, also relegated)12.

It's 2009... isn't it time to kill the "deepest darkest Africa" stigma?That is a cool name tho, but I've always been partial to Hearts Of Oak... one of the most prolific and successful teams in the Ghana Football League (and all of Africa for that matter). One time I saw one of their jackets for sale at a soccer shop in Madison... I still kick myself to this day for not coppin' it (I was broke... stupid economy).
