In 1920, it became the first club from outside England to be elected to the Football League, marking a significant milestone in Welsh football history.
Throughout its history, Cardiff City has enjoyed various levels of success, most notably winning the FA Cup in 1927 when they defeated Arsenal, becoming the first team from Wales to achieve this feat. The club has also enjoyed periods in the top tier of English football and experienced European competition, most notably advancing to the UEFA Cup in the 1960s. The club's home ground, Cardiff City Stadium, opened in 2009, providing a modern venue for its supporters.
In recent seasons, Cardiff City has been competing in the EFL Championship. The 2023–24 season concluded with the club finishing 12th with a record of 19 wins, 22 losses, and 5 draws. The following season, 2024–25, saw a challenging campaign, culminating in a bottom finish with 9 wins, 20 losses, and 17 draws, indicating a need for future rebuilding efforts.
