Renowned for its prowess on the pitch and its fervour from the stands, Aberdeen Football Club commenced its sporting adventure in 1903. The stage for all this excitement has been - and continues to be - the pulsating Pittodrie Stadium, which stands proudly on Scottish soil.
The Aberdeen side, a collection of 29 ambitious competitors ready to vie for victory, has amassed a noteworthy value for those with an interest in the financial side of the beautiful game - according to Transfermarkt, the squad is worth a creditable £20m.
The average age of these gladiators of the turf is a spritely 24, a good balance between the vim and vigour of youthful excitement and the canny wisdom of sporting experience.
As for the current season, our Aberdeen squad is not lacking in grit or determination either, having thrown their proverbial hats into the ring in four notable competitions. It's a rigorous test of stamina and style with the Premiership, where they currently sit in 12th place; a fiercely contested League Cup adventure, where they reached the Quarter-Finals; the enthralling Europa League Qualifiers where they battled until the Play-Offs, and finally the Conference League which is in its league phase at present.
