Birmingham Tigers FC
Birmingham Tigers is an FA Adult Chartered Football & Futsal Club affiliated to the Birmingham County Football Association based in Birmingham, West Midlands. The football club’s First Adult Team compete in the Midlands Football League (MFL) and play at Hadley Stadium in Smethwick, Birmingham.

History
Birmingham Tigers FC was formed in April 2009 and started competing in the local junior, youth and adult football leagues across Birmingham and the West Midlands. Over the next several years, thanks to a dedicated team of volunteers, the club managed to grow having managed several football teams from U10, U12, U14 U15, U16, U17 & U18s teams in the Central & Warwickshire Football League, Walsall Junior Football League and Sandwell Minor League.

First Team Football
After the two U18 Birmingham Tigers FC youth teams finished their last season in the Central & Warwickshire Football League, the youth teams merged with the newly recruited senior players to form the Birmingham Tigers FC Adult Team. Initially, the newly formed Adult Team started competing in numerous adult amateur leagues including the South Birmingham Sunday Football League (SBSFL), Birmingham Communities League (BCL) and Birmingham & District Football League (Birmingham AFA). Each year, the club grew from strength to strength and in 2014, the Birmingham Tigers became an FA Adult Chartered Club. After consecutive promotions in the Birmingham AFA, the club was accepted into the Midlands Football League Division 3 (previously known as the Midlands Combination) in 2017.

Tigers Futsal Team
The Tigers First Adult Futsal Team was accepted into the FA National Futsal League after many years of winning local and regional futsal tournaments as well as having a successful run in the Futsal FA Cup in 2015. The Tigers Futsal team partnered up with Birmingham City University (BCU) to launch Birmingham Tigers BCU Futsal Team to competing in the National Futsal League (NFL) in 2018. They play at the Doug Ellis Sports Centre in Perry Barr in Birmingham.

Community Club
Using football, Birmingham Tigers hopes to engage with young people. The club believes that by harnessing the energy of young people towards something more productive and positive, it would make them better humans. In turn, it would keep youngsters away from bullying, rioting, gang culture, violence, petty crime, knife crime and anti-social behaviour. The club was formed as a voluntary-led community club to support young people living in the most deprived wards in Birmingham. In the beginning, the club was predominantly focusing on participation but has now developed into competing at the higher level in the FA Non-League Football Pyramid and the National Futsal League.

Clubs Ambitions
Birmingham Tigers hopes to venture into a variety of sports and compete at all levels of the game from the community, development and elite level of any sport where there is an interest and a wish to compete. In the future, the Tigers hope to possess multiple facilities, offer sports scholarship programmes, manage youth and junior sports academies, set up women’s and girls sports teams as well as provide opportunities for people with various abilities and disabilities in partnership with other organisations. Amongst the club’s goals is to obtain professional sports club status through becoming an FA Chartered Community Club, a Nike Partner Club and the biggest sports club in Birmingham.

Colours
Birmingham Tigers’ home kit is inspired by the animal colours of the tiger. The home shirt is an orange top that prominently features the logo of the club sponsor on the front. The shorts and socks are the same shade of orange. The club’s away kit is a full white strip with a white shirt, white shorts and white socks which also contains the sponsor.
