The club's nickname is The Terrors or The Tangerines and the fans are called Arabs. The club has won Scotland's top league once, but is not currently in it and plays in the lower Scottish Championship, where it was relegated in 2016. Their traditional rivals are fellow club from the same city, Dundee FC, now also in League Two. Their home stadium is Tannadice Park with a capacity of 14,223. The club colours are orange and black.
The football club was founded in Dundee in 1909, originally under the name Dundee Hibernian. Its former name was derived from Hibernian FC, a club of the Irish Catholic community in Edinburgh. They also played their first league match against it, on 18 August 1909, which ended in a 1-1 draw. The club has borne its current name since 1923. The club is also one of the founding members of the Scottish Football League.
It is undoubtedly interesting to note that the club has competed in European competitions against the big club Barcelona, with whom it has a 100% success rate. In this respect, it is unique in the world and no other club has such a record with Barcelona. On the other hand, it's more of a statistical curiosity, as they last played against each other in the 1986/87 season and have only met 4 times in European competitions.
The club's greatest success is undoubtedly related to the 1982/83 season, when they won the top Scottish league competition. As it has not been in the top flight for its entire existence, it has also won the lower league competition in the 1924/25 and 1928/29 seasons, which were also promotion years for the club. In addition, the club also won:
In terms of Scottish Cup wins, the most recent one is from the 2009/10 season. Also of note from recent times is the Scottish Challenge Cup, which the club won in 2016/17. As mentioned, the club is not now operating in the Scottish Premiership and the drop down a level in 2016 came after a run of poor results.
