Bangor City F.C. in European football
Bangor City F.C. is a Welsh football club based in Bangor, Gwynedd, who currently play in the Cymru North, the second tier of organised football in Wales. City's first participation in European competition was during the 1962–63 season, when they competed in the European Cup Winners' Cup after winning the Welsh Cup. The club's first match was against Napoli of the Italian Serie A. Bangor did not compete again in Europe for 23 years until the 1985–86 season when they once again played in the European Cup Winners' Cup. City did not see regular European action until the formation of the League of Wales (now Welsh Premier League) in 1992.
To meet UEFA regulations, Bangor have played some home European games at Belle Vue in Rhyl and the Racecourse Ground in Wrexham.
