Birmingham City FC

Birmingham City FC is an English professional football team based in Birmingham, founded in 1875 as The Small Heath Alliance before becoming Birmingham City FC in 1905. The club’s home ground is St. Andrews where they have been playing since 1906. Birmingham’s history has been characterised by promotion and relegation between the First and Second divisions, and they are now currently playing in the Premier League. Birmingham City’s only major cup triumph was winning the League Cup in 1963. Birmingham’s home strip is made up of a blue shirt, white shorts and blue socks.
