Cardiff City Football Club is a professional association football club
based in Cardiff, Wales. They entered the Southern Football League in
1910 and joined the English Football League (EFL) in 1920. Since then,
the club has spent 17 seasons in the top tier of English football,
including nine seasons in the 1920s and the 2018–19 Premier League
season. In 1927 they became the only team from outside England to have
won the FA Cup. They reached the FA Cup Final in 1925 and 2008, and the
EFL Cup Final in 2012. They have won the Welsh Cup 22 times, making them
the second-best performers in the competition's history behind Wrexham.
Ninian Park (grandstand pictured) was their home ground for 99 years,
until they moved into the Cardiff City Stadium in 2009. They have long-
standing rivalries with two nearby clubs, the South Wales derby with
Swansea City and the Severnside derby with Bristol City. The club's top
goalscorer is Len Davies with 179 goals.
