In the USSR, after the revolution, the naive belief in technology led to many teams being named after technologies. Often because the clubs belonged directly to the manufacturing factories.
The most famous is probably Dynamo Moscow, after whose example it is claimed that Dynamo is the most common name for footballs teams worldwide. For example, the US MLS team Dynamo Houston.
This reveals a USA centric view.
