Are the poetic verses mentioned permissible in the context of encouraging a sports club, and can they be considered metaphorical, like the saying of Hassan ibn Thabit about the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him: "You were created free from every flaw As if you were created as you wished"? And is it correct to say that they are a lie based on the saying "The most beautiful poetry is its most mendacious"?

The poetry mentioned confirms the corruption of encouraging sports teams. It is obligatory for a Muslim not to imitate disbelievers. The mentioned poetry is filled with heedlessness of servitude to Allah and preparation for the Afterlife. It is a lie, and singing poetry does not permit speaking what is forbidden.
