History
Celebrating over 100 years of Aberdeen History
Since our foundation, The Dons have developed a reputation, both nationally and internationally, as one of the UK’s best known clubs. The Club has and will continue to nurture talent and embrace opportunity and change in an innovative manner. Having won four league titles, six Scottish League Cups and seven Scottish Cups, including a record three in a row during the 1980’s, we are also the only Scottish team to have won two European trophies, The European Cup Winners Cup and European Super Cup in 1983.
On the field the Club has a long history of success, both within Scotland and Europe, with the 1980’s particularly being an era of unparalleled achievements. Off the field AFC has consistently recognised the need to be at the forefront, as demonstrated by the fact that Pittodrie was the first all-seated stadium in Britain.
