Bohemian Football Club

Bohemian Football Club (in Irish: an Cumann Peile Bóihéamach) is a football club from Ireland, based in Dublin. It competes in the Premier Division, the top category of Irish football. Throughout its history it has won eleven national leagues and seven Irish cups, and it is also the only Irish club that has never been relegated to a lower division.

It was founded in 1890 in the northern district of Phibsboro and has played since 1901 at Dalymount Park, one of the most venerable stadiums in Irish football. After being one of the founders of the Irish league in 1921, it won several titles in the 1930s and was then overtaken by the rise of professionalism. Although it tried to remain an amateur club, in 1969 it signed its first professional player, and it has improved its sporting performance since then.

Ownership of Bohemian F. C. rests with its members and is closely tied to the north of Dublin. Throughout its history it has maintained an intense rivalry with the team from the south of the capital, Shamrock Rovers.
