Falkirk

Falkirk were founded in 1876 and play their home games at The Falkirk Stadium in Scotland.

Falkirk, situated in the heart of Scotland, have a rich and storied history since their genesis in 1876. The team have long called The Falkirk Stadium their home turf. Towering white posts reach skywards from lush green fields, a testament to the beautiful game played here regularly.

Currently, Falkirk's player armoury is made up of a sturdy contingent of 31 talented individuals. With an average age of an equally hearty 26, these players bring together a blend of seasoned experience and youthful exuberance, with a common goal of doing the shirt proud on every outing.

While not part of the so-called 'Old Firm' of Scottish football, Falkirk's performance in recent seasons implies a club unafraid to challenge the status quo, particularly pre-2013. Comparatively, this season has seen the team solidify its resolve in two competitions. They've posted a respectable 5th place standing in the steadfast battleground of the Premiership, and made it to the Second Round of the fierce, often tempestuous, League Cup competition. It's clear Falkirk have no plans to quietly fade into the footballing backdrop.
