Kitchen FC
Kitchen FC was founded during the dawn of the Winchestia Pro League, but has ties to a very special team in the history of the amateur days of football in Winchestia.

Club History
To understand the story of Kitchen FC, we must go back to the amateur era and the Wendle Culinary Institute. One year the enterprising students at this nationally known school decided that they wanted to enter the All-Winchestia Cup. Though many were gifted athletes, few had played football in the past and not much was expected. Sure enough, they lost in the first round to defending champions City, but not after FOUR scoreless draws forced a fifth replay and only then did they lose 1-0. The next year, the same group of studentes captured the imagination of the nation by reaching the final of the All-Winchestia Cup knocking off teams like Rovers and (the now defunct) Wendle Park. Though they lost that final to Market Motors FC 3-1, they came to represent the can-do spirit of Winchestia and their story became famous throughout the years. Sadly, the instructors at the WCI thought too much of the students attention was being used by the football team and disbanded it 2 years later.
One of those students, Marcos Cuba, became a famous and wealthy chef. When the announcent of a new professional league was made, Cuba inquired about buying in to a team. He ended up owning the third Wendle team outright, and in honor of his full-time profession, he named it Kitchen FC. They are the current 4-time holders of the Cup and with star defender Josh Pop, midfielder Orvile Sporer and captain and main goalscorer Ervin Firmin, they look set to continue their dominance in the future. In their early years they played all of their home matches at the former home of Wendle Park, but now split between there and the national stadium used by City and Rovers.
