The Bluebirds
Known to supporters as The Bluebirds, Cardiff City carries a history dating back to 1899 and a matchday culture centred on Cardiff City Stadium. Canton Stand and Ninian Stand help give the ground its character, while FA Cup winners (1927) and Charity Shield winners (1927) provide enduring reference points in the club’s story.
