Ynyshir Albions F.C. are a Welsh football team based in the village Ynyshir in the Rhondda Valley. The club plays in the Ardal Leagues South West, which is the third tier of the Welsh football pyramid.
History
The club was founded in 1992. They were promoted to the Welsh Football League from the South Wales Alliance Premier Division in 2019.
They joined the newly formed Ardal Leagues for the 2020–21 season although the season was cancelled due to the Coronavirus pandemic. The following season they finished second in the inaugural season of the Ardal Southwest. As league runners-up they played the runners-up of the Ardal Southeast in a playoff match for promotion to the tier 2 Cymru South, beating Abertillery Bluebirds 3–0. They finished bottom of the Cymru South in the 2022–23 season and were relegated back into the Ardal Leagues.
Ynyshir Albions har hatt begrenset suksess på banen. De har aldri vunnet noen store trofeer, og har aldri kommet seg opp til øverste nivå i walisisk fotball. Imidlertid har de vært et stabilt lag i Welsh Football League Division One i mange år.
Laget har en sterk tilknytning til sitt lokalsamfunn og har en stor og lojal tilhengerskare. De er kjent for sin gode ånd og sitt gode spill.
