Adopting Al Jazira means Asia AFC Champions League results start mattering to you, a club going since 1974. Not a novelty, a habit.

Loaded cabinet
8 distinct honours on record, including Champions: 1998–99, 2000–01, 2004–05, 2009–10. Adopt them and you inherit expectation, which is more fun than it sounds when the trophies keep coming.
Close to the pitch
Al Nahyan Stadium holds about 15,894. You can hear the defenders shouting at each other, which is the single best argument for lower-capacity football.
You get a nickname
Known as The Clarets (الكلاريت) The Maroons (العنابي) 6-2. That is your new shorthand, your search term and your excuse for buying a scarf.
