NAC Breda

This Dutch club has, quite possibly, the longest name in football.

It was founded in 1912 when ADVENDO (Aangenaam Door Vermaak En Nuttig Door Ontspanning) and NOAD (Nooit Ophouden, Altijd Doorgaan) merged to form one club in the city of Breda.

While the new name, NAC, is short for Nooit opgeven altijd doorgaan, Aangenaam door vermaak en nuttig door ontspanning, Combinatie Breda.

It full translates as Never give up, always persevere, Pleasant for its entertainment and useful for its relaxation, Combination.

Quite a mouthful.
