This one already has a
future version I've posted. It's Martin Dihigo, but since it's a fictional league (and I really like the name), we'll say that they took their name from the
ancient Persian soldiers, like the many teams named Vikings, Trojans, Athenians, etc. (I think I've played ootp since 2017, so, almost 10 years, so, not as long as I've played the Civilization games
)
