St Albans City Football Club (nicknamed The Saints) is a semi-professional association football team based in St Albans, Hertfordshire, England. The club currently competes in the National League South, the sixth level of the English football league system.
It was founded in 1908 and plays its home matches at Clarence Park, about 800 yards from the city centre. It competed in the Conference Premier (now the National League) during the 2006–07 season under the guidance of the then chairman and Manager Colin Lippiat, but was relegated back to the Conference South after one season and subsequently suffered a further relegation in 2010–11, before returning to the sixth tier in 2013–14 after beating Chesham United 3–1 in the play-off final.
