Founded in 1887 as Barnsley St Peter’s, the club adopted the name Barnsley a decade later and have long played at Oakwell Stadium in South Yorkshire. The “Tykes” (also known as “The Reds”) lifted the FA Cup in 1912 after defeating West Bromwich Albion, a landmark achievement in the club’s early history. After several spells in the second tier, Barnsley recently played in League One, building on a strong regional identity, resilient heritage and deep community roots.
