Bradford City Association Football Club is a professional football team based in Bradford, West Yorkshire, competing in English Football League One. Known as the Bantams, the club's home is the historic Valley Parade stadium, a venue with a capacity of over 25,000 that holds deep emotional significance for the club and its community. Founded in 1903, the club's colours are claret and amber. Bradford City's history includes the tragic Valley Parade fire of 1985 and the incredible resilience that followed. The undisputed peak era was the 1998-99 and 1999-2000 seasons, when under manager Paul Jewell the club achieved a fairy-tale promotion to the Premier League and, famously, survived their first season in the top flight against all odds. This period, featuring heroes like Stuart McCall and Dean Windass, is etched in club folklore. In the modern era, the club has navigated between League One and Two, with recent seasons focused on rebuilding and aiming for stability in the third tier. They are known for a hard-working style and a famously loyal fan base that regularly fills Valley Parade, creating one of the best atmospheres in the lower leagues. Bradford City remains a club defined by its community, its history, and its enduring hope for a return to brighter days.
