Edinburgh Academical Football Clubとは 意味・読み方・使い方

The Edinburgh Academical Football Club, also known as Edinburgh Accies or Edinburgh Acads, is a rugby union football club in Edinburgh, Scotland. The club was formed in 1857 and is the oldest rugby club in Scotland, the second oldest club in continuous existence in the world and one of the founding members of the Scottish Rugby Union. The Club's name omits the word "Rugby" as it predates the division between the Association and Rugby codes of football, which took place in the 1860's. At present it plays in Scottish Hydro Electric Premiership Division 1 and plays its home games at Raeburn Place, Edinburgh, Scotland. They are coached by Scottish internationalists Ian Barnes and Tom Philip, assisted by Malcolm McVie.
