You have left out SV Austria Salzburg. That was the original name of Salzburg's major football club, until they have been bought by Red Bull in 2005 and thus have been completely rebranded, including their name, their logo and their colours. While most local fans are pleased by the constant success their city's major club has been enjoying domestically, and being represented in European competitions every year, a group of more traditional fans were displeased with the re-branding and have since founded a football club, SV Austria Salzburg, which is currently playing 3rd tier football in Austria. Even though SV Austria Salzburg have reinstated the original club's name, logo and colours, they are on paper a football club that has been founded in 2006, while FC Red Bull Salzburg is the club that officially carries the "original" SV Austria Salzburg's legacy.

I don't know about other countries, but Norway at least had not only left vs right (or rather workers or bourgeoisie) football leagues and FA, but all sports clubs (no matter if it was wrestling, boxing, football, whatever) organized into one of two rivalling national federations of sport. There were "The Norwegian Confederation of Sports" and "Workers Federation of Sports" until German occupation of Norway, where their cooperation in resistance to the Nazis paved the way to one single organization after the war.

Flamengo football emerged from an internal dispute within Fluminense. Some disaffected players left Fluminense and created a football team at Flamengo club that before only disputed rowing championships (very popular at the beginning of the 20th century in Rio). Regarding the curiosity about the name of Cruzeiro, Palmeiras, which has just won the Libertadores Cup, was also called Palestra Italia and had to change the name.

Hapoel did indeed beat Beitar 1-0 goal coming in the 16th minute, but it was however in a pre season compatition called "Toto Cup" which is a little like the Leage Cup in England.

how did they relegate if they kept theire primeira league team

When FC United we’re in the NLN 2-3 years ago, I went to watch my local team play against them at Broadhurst Park in the league. Their stadium was extremely nice and modern, and there were about 1,400 fans in attendance with approx 150 of those being away fans including myself (this was a local derby though, as both teams are based in Manchester, so the attendance was possibly higher than usual). No doubt about it, FC Utd had class fans and even though my local team won 2-1 after an 83rd minute goal, their fans kept a great atmosphere going and they can’t be knocked for that.
