History
Go Leo was formed in October 2013 as Gin Tonic FC by a delusional social media junkie, after some coercion by insecure local keyboard warriors, most of whom reside in the city of Kuching. The team plays wearing the colours Green & White, just because it is quite uncommon and especially to avoid the popular red or blue kit colurs.

In the club's first competitive season, they narrowly missed qualification to the Champions League, losing out to now traditional rivals Xaitan FC by a single point. They surprisingly lost their final league match 0-1 a club languishing in the lower half of the league.

Go Leo won their first ever league title in Season 7-Level 7, pipping VSOP to the title by 2 points on the last day of the season. They came close to securing a semi-final spot in the Champions League but lost out on away goals in the quarterfinals.

Club Legends and Heroes
AML, Matias Madrid, Argentina
The Argentinian winger is practically a striker and is often pushed forward to play as a 2nd or 3rd striker. He joined Go Leo in Season 7 and took no time to announce his talents to the rest of the league with his goals and assists.

AMR/MR, Stergios Kolokas
Free-scoring Greek winger who was the star of the team prior to Madrid's arrival. A bout of injuries saw him struggle to recapture his early form. Together with Madrid, he led Go Leo to their first ever league title in Season 7.
