History
Although founded in the late 19th century, the club enjoyed little if any success until the 1960s when it won the Mid-Wales League in 1959–60, 1960–61, and 1962–63, and appeared in three Welsh Amateur Cup finals, winning the cup in 1960–61. They also won the cup (now renamed the Welsh Intermediate Cup) in 1989. In the league, the team's fortunes waned until they won the title again in 1978, and four more times before they were invited to join the Cymru Alliance in 1990. In 1992 they became founder members of the League of Wales.
Caersws won the League Cup in 2000–01 and 2001–02, and played in the Intertoto Cup, being defeated 3–1 on aggregate by PFC Marek Dupnitsa of Bulgaria.
The team's colors are blue and white, and they play their home matches at the Caersws Stadium, which has a seating capacity of 5,000. The team's mascot is a lion named Roary, who can be seen cheering on the players and entertaining fans during matches.
Caersws has a strong rivalry with several other teams in the league, making for intense and exciting matches throughout the season. The team has a reputation for playing an attacking style of soccer, with a focus on quick passing and creative playmaking.
Overall, Caersws Football Club is a respected and successful team in Great Britain, with a loyal fan base and a tradition of excellence on the field.
