Aberdeen Football Club, often referred to as "Aberdeen," was founded on April 14, 1903, and is a professional football club based in Scotland. In 1905, the team successfully entered the Scottish top league, marking the beginning of a century-long journey in the top league. In the 1930s, the club changed its uniform to a full red color. In 1947, the team won its first Scottish Cup championship, and in 1955, it historically won the league championship, breaking the monopoly of traditional powerhouses. The arrival of legendary coach Ferguson in 1978 ushered in a golden age for the club. Under his leadership, Aberdeen not only achieved remarkable success in domestic competitions but also defeated Real Madrid in the 1983 European Cup Winners' Cup final, becoming the only Scottish club to win a major European title to date.

Since Ferguson's departure, the team has experienced a period of ups and downs. While they won the double in 1990, they gradually lost their competitiveness afterward.
