Falkirk

Falkirk were founded in 1876 and play their home games at The Falkirk Stadium in Scotland.

A stalwart of Scottish football, Falkirk came into existence in 1876. The club plies its trade at The Falkirk Stadium, a venue well-rooted in the annals of Scottish football.

Armed with a cohort comprising of 31 players, Falkirk fields a relatively young team with the average age hovering around 25, a testament to the club's investment in youth. Evidently, this youthful vigour is not without its merits.

The current football season finds Falkirk juggling challenges across three different competitive fronts. Their participation ranges from the top tier of Scottish football, the Premiership, where they occupy the 6th rung on the ladder, to the domestic cup tournaments. Their journey in the League Cup was curtailed in the Second Round whilst a Fifth Round exit awaited them in the Scottish Cup.
