Brechin City Football Club is a Scottish football team based in Brechin, Angus. They are members of the Scottish Football League and play in the Second Division in the 2006/07 season.
They were founded in 1906 through the amalgamation of two local junior sides – Brechin Harp and Brechin Hearts – when a deputation from the Forfarshire Football Association met local sportsmen in the Temperance Hall in City Road, and after some persuasion, it was decided that a Senior club was advisable. The team was admitted to the Scottish league in 1923. Brechin currently play at Glebe Park, which has a capacity of 3,960 (1,519 seated) and is famous for the hedge that runs alongside one side of the pitch.
David Will, a former Chairman of the club, is one of the Vice-Presidents of FIFA.
The club are currently celebrating their centenary year and played their centenary match against Coca Cola Championship side Ipswich Town at Glebe Park.
