Brymbo Football Club are a football club based in Tanyfron, Wrexham. They currently play in the Welsh National League (Wrexham Area) Premier Division. The team - originally Brymbo Steelworks F.C. - was formed as part of Brymbo Steelworks. Brymbo Football Club has a long and prestigious history. Formed over 60 years ago as part of the Brymbo Steelworks Complex, the club has a reputation as one of Wales' top amateur clubs. During their history Brymbo F.C. have won the Welsh National League (Wrexham Area) on no fewer than fourteen occasions and have numerous Cup successes, the major ones being the 1967 Welsh Amateur Cup win and the Welsh F.A. Trophy win of 2007. In 1996, Brymbo merged with neighbouring village team New Broughton F.C. At that time Brymbo played in the Cymru Alliance League while New Broughton were in the WNL (Wrexham Area) Premier Division. New Broughton had a good, experienced Committee and were financially sound, but unfortunately their playing facilities (which were Council owned) did not reach the standards set for a higher level of football. Brymbo, however, had excellent facilities but were lacking experience and expertise in key off-field positions and were financially insecure. The merger benefited BOTH clubs. The club is based at The Brymbo Sports and Social Complex in Tanyfron, and boasts some of the best facilities in North Wales amateur football. The club also runs a reserves team and is also immensely proud of being part of the local community, providing local youngsters with a chance to participate in organised sport.
The home colours are yellow shirts with black shorts and socks[1]
