About Penybont FC

Penybont FC is a Welsh football club based in Bridgend, South Wales. The club was formed in 2013 following the merger of Bridgend Town and Bryntirion Athletic, bringing together two established local sides to create a single progressive team. Penybont plays its home matches at the DragonBet Stadium (formerly Bryntirion Park) and competes in the Cymru Premier, the top tier of Welsh football.

After its formation, the club quickly established itself as a strong competitor in the Welsh Football League system, achieving promotion to higher divisions and continuing to develop both on and off the pitch. In 2018–19, Penybont won the Welsh Football League Division One, securing promotion to the Cymru Premier for the first time in the club’s history. Their rise was supported by improved facilities and a structured long-term development approach.

Since reaching the top flight, Penybont has become a stable Cymru Premier side and has also achieved notable success in domestic cup competitions. The club reached the Welsh Cup final in 2021–22 and has regularly competed in the upper half of the league table. Their strong performances earned them qualification for European competition, where they represented Wales in the UEFA Europa Conference League qualifiers, marking an important milestone in the club’s short but rapidly developing history.
