ABOUT US
History
Cadoxton Albion Football Club was established on July 11th 1946. With the horrors of the Second World War fresh in people’s minds and rationing still in place in South Wales, the club was created by old friends to be able to socialise and play together regularly.
In 1973 the club began to play their home games at the Athletic Ground. After 2 seasons it was agreed that "The Albion" would change its name to Barry Athletic to fit in with the Cricket, Bowls and Tennis clubs at the ground. On the 11th of July 1975, the name change was made official and Barry Athletic Football Club was born.
BAFC is a club of over 300 players and over 75 volunteers, with a team in every age group from 5-16, plus two men’s teams.
Our number of players has grown over 175% in 3 years!
Established by friends after the war in 1946, BAFC are the oldest club in Barry.
BAFC have been awarded the highest level of Platinum Status from the FAW.
