伯明翰城足球俱乐部(Birmingham City FootballClub)是一家英格兰足球俱乐部,2007/08年降级为英格兰冠军联赛球队,翌季即夺得英冠亚军重返英超,是伯明翰市两支主要职业俱乐部之一。球队原名“小希夫联盟”(The SmallHeath Alliance),主场位于伯明翰市的圣安德鲁球场。50年代末60年代初期,伯明翰城成为首支出战欧洲的英格兰球队,更连续两届于欧洲城市博览会杯决赛出战巴塞罗那及罗马两支欧洲劲旅落败而屈居亚军。而1963年获得的英格兰联赛杯更是球队至今唯一的重要锦标。
The Birmingham City Football Club, a football club in England, was downgraded to the Champions League in 2007/08 and won the Championship runner-up to the Premiership the following season, one of Birmingham’s two major professional clubs. The team, formerly known as The SmallHeath Alliance, is home to the St. Andrews Stadium in Birmingham. In the late 1950s and early 1960s, Birmingham City became the first England team to play in Europe, winning the second runner-up again in two consecutive defeats at the European City Fair Cup final in Barcelona and Rome. The 1963 England League Cup is the team so far the only important highlight.
