Aberdeen F.C. (Pittodrie)
33 minute walk from Aberdeen station · Dundee, Aberdeen and North East
Since its election to the top flight in 1905, Aberdeen FC has never been relegated from the top division. The team has played at Pittodrie Stadium since its formation in 1903 through the amalgamation of three local clubs.
The club is the only Scottish team to have won two European trophies, securing both the European Cup Winners' Cup and the European Super Cup in 1983. Under the management of Alex Ferguson, they became the last club outside the Old Firm to win a league title. Its home ground, Pittodrie, is historically significant as the first all-seated stadium in the United Kingdom and the birthplace of the stadium dug-out.
Visitors can enjoy the atmosphere of a 19,274-capacity stadium while watching the team compete in their traditional all-red strips. Fans can experience the club's modern success, such as their 2013–14 League Cup win and their 2025 Scottish Cup triumph, which ended a 35-year wait for that trophy.
