Lots of football clubs are fictitiously accused of not having very many or any fans, but in the case of Portuguese Primeira Liga and UEFA Conference League side FC Arouca, it's actually true.
Despite competing in a major European league and cup competition this season, and having had an absolutely remarkable last 17 years, FC Arouca have averaged just 1,630 fans at their home games this season, and recently took just 3 away fans to a Liga Portugal game against Farense.
In this video, HITC Sevens takes a look at Arouca's rise, fall, and rise again, the wealthy benefactor behind the club, and why they have so few fans.
