About Cardiff Met FC

Cardiff Met FC is the football club of Cardiff Metropolitan University, based at the university's Cyncoed campus in Cardiff. It was founded in 1957 and has played under several names linked to the institution, including Cardiff Metropolitan University FC. Its home ground is the Cyncoed Stadium, which holds about 1,600 spectators. The team is nicknamed The Archers, after the bowman on its badge.

Made up largely of students, the club climbed the Welsh pyramid and reached the Cymru Premier, the national top flight, in 2016. It quickly established itself there and won the Welsh League Cup in 2019.

That cup win, through a Cymru Premier play-off place, took the club into the preliminary round of the 2019–20 UEFA Europa League, its European debut. After losing 1–0 to Progrès Niederkorn in Luxembourg, it won the return leg 2–1 in Cardiff but went out on away goals.
