Portadown Football Club is a semi-professional Northern Irish football club who play in the NIFL Premiership.
The club was formed in 1887 as a junior team seeking to participate in the Mid-Ulster Cup, eventually joining the Irish League with the support of other local clubs in 1924.
They are based in Portadown, County Armagh and play their home matches at Shamrock Park. The club's colours are red and white. Their home are kit consists of red shirts, red shorts and red socks with white trim on all. The badge shows a red apple inside it. Many believe this comes from the "orchard county" nickname to the area.
The club's main rivals are Glenavon, with their matches being known as the "Mid Ulster Derby". The club also has a longstanding rivalry with Glentoran.[1]
