From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Aberaman Athletic Football Club is a Welsh football club that currently play in the Welsh Football League First Division. Their ground is situated on Cardiff Road, Aberdare, between the suburb of Aberaman and the village of Abercwmboi.
Aberaman were founded in 1892 and joined the Southern League in 1919. In 1926 they merged with nearby Aberdare Athletic, then of the Football League Third Division South to form Aberdare & Aberaman Athletic. However the merged club dropped out of the Football League in 1927 and the arrangement came to an end the following year; Aberaman broke off and started competing as a single club again, while Aberdare promptly folded.
Aberaman continued to compete as a single club until 1945, when another combined Aberdare & Aberaman Athletic FC were re-formed. Once again, the merged clubs only lasted two years, and Aberaman went their separate way in 1947, and have continued in that form to this day.
