Parking in Cardiff City Stadium

Referred to as The Bluebirds by their fans, Cardiff City FC have a proud history in the football league, winning the FA Cup in 1927 and famously beating Real Madrid in the 1971 quarter final of the Cup Winners Cup. The stadium is also the home of the Wales National football team and has hosted rugby world cups and seen many Welsh rugby union teams play there.
