History
Pentyre Dragons FC was founded in 2013 and quickly rose to become the largest football club in Calbion. The team won the first Gynghrair Gyntaf title and as such performed in the CTFA Champions' League, where they were eliminated rather quickly. They continued to win the three subsequent Gynghrair Gyntafs, and participated in the Champions league, where they came up second in the 2016-17 season.
Since the start of the Calbain football competition, the Dragons have won every Gynhrair Gyntaf title except for 2016-2017. The team is regarded as the "only true top club" from Calbion. The team also has the most significant support within the country. The Dragons have longstanding rivalries with Arwyn Llysthur and Kilkelly United. The match between the Dragons and Pentyre City F.C. is known as the Capital Derby.
Pentyre Dragons play in the Caerdragon (Dragon Castle) stadium in Pentyre, it is the largest stadium in Calbion and is also used for rugby union matches.
The Dragons won the CTFA Champions' League in 2021 for the first time, marking their best result in the international competition following a second place in 2017.
