About The New Saints FC

The New Saints Football Club (commonly known as TNS) is a professional football club that represents both Oswestry in England and Llansantffraid-ym-Mechain in Wales. The club was originally formed in 1959 as Llansantffraid FC and later merged with Oswestry Town, eventually developing into its modern identity. Despite being based in England, the team competes in the Welsh football league system and plays its home matches at Park Hall in Oswestry.

Over time, The New Saints have become the most successful club in Welsh domestic football. They have won numerous Cymru Premier titles and regularly dominate the league, often finishing at or near the top of the table. The club has also achieved multiple victories in domestic cup competitions, including the Welsh Cup and Welsh League Cup, establishing a strong record of consistent success over several decades.

TNS have also represented Wales in European competitions such as the UEFA Champions League, UEFA Europa League, and UEFA Europa Conference League. In recent years, they made history by becoming the first club from the Welsh domestic system to reach the group or league phase of a major UEFA competition. This achievement further strengthened their reputation as the leading force in Welsh club football.
