Salford City is a professional football club based in Salford, Greater Manchester, England, currently competing in EFL League Two, the fourth tier of the English football pyramid. The club was founded in 1940 and plays its home matches at the Peninsula Stadium, which has a capacity of over 5,000. Salford City's modern history was transformed in 2014 when it was purchased by a group of former Manchester United players, including Ryan Giggs, Gary Neville, and Paul Scholes, alongside businessman Peter Lim. This investment propelled the club on a remarkable journey, achieving multiple promotions from the Northern Premier League Division One North to the Football League. The club's peak era is undoubtedly this recent period of rapid ascent, culminating in a 2020 EFL Trophy victory at Wembley Stadium. Now in League Two, Salford City is a full-time professional outfit with ambitions of climbing to League One and beyond, backed by significant investment and a growing fanbase. The club's culture has shifted from a purely local non-league side to a project with national attention, though it retains strong community ties in Salford.
