Profile

Bradford City Association Football Club is a professional football club in Bradford, West Yorkshire, England, which plays in League One, the third tier of English football.

The club was founded in 1903 and immediately elected into the Football League Second Division. Promotion to the top tier followed in 1908 and the club won the FA Cup in 1911, its only major honour. After relegation in 1922 from Division One, the club spent 77 years outside the top flight until promotion to the Premier League in 1999. Relegation followed in 2000-01 and since then a series of financial crises have pushed the club to the brink of closure and resulted in two more relegations to League Two. In the 2012-13 season, they became the first team from the fourth tier of English football to reach the League Cup Final, losing 5-0 to Swansea City. In the same season, they returned to Wembley for the playoff final and won promotion to League One with a 3-0 win over Northampton Town.

The club's colours are claret and amber and they play home games at Valley Parade. The ground was the site of the Bradford City stadium fire on 11 May 1985 which took the lives of 56 supporters.
