A folded pennant of the Arstotzka Arskickers.
The Arstotzka Arskickers is an Arstotzkan soccer or (European) football[1] team[2] that was the champion of division 1 in 1980[3] and will be playing in regionals later.[4] The team is first mentioned on day 13 when one of its players, Filipe Hasse, gives the inspector a team pennant of the aforementioned team.
Not much information about the team is provided in the game, but it is mentioned it recently played abroad[5] and has a coach with an either angry disposition or violent temper.[4] If the team's pennant is on the wall, the third entrant on day 18 will comment that he remembers that match and describes it as "intense".[6]
The name of the team is a play on words arse-kickers (people that "kick arse") and Arstotzka.
