About Fulham Football Club:

Fulham Football Club was formed in 1879 as a local boys’ church side, Fulham St Andrew’s. The oldest of London’s first-class clubs, Fulham FC has a long and colourful history, spanning almost 150 years, and is rightly positioned as London’s Original Football Club with its home, Craven Cottage, having hosted matches since 1896 – 130 years ago.

The men’s team promotion to the Premier League was first achieved in 2001 and the team remained in England’s top division until 2013. Fulham FC reached the final of the inaugural Europa League in 2010, losing to Atletico Madrid 2-1 in extra-time. Recent successes for the men’s side have included promotion to the Premier League by winning the Championship Play-Off Finals in 2018 & 2020. The Club also achieved promotion to the Premier League in 2022 by winning the Championship.

Fulham FC Chairman Shahid Khan, owner of the Jacksonville Jaguars of the National Football League, purchased the Club in 2013. The Chairman’s vision for the New Riverside Stand has secured the Club’s future at Craven Cottage and increased the capacity to over 28,000 with the stand offering a range of exceptional hospitality. Furthermore, the development of Fulham Pier has provided a world-class destination on the banks of the River Thames to be enjoyed all year round.

Men’s First Team:

Last season, Fulham FC’s men’s first team finished in 11th position in the Premier League and reached the quarter final of the League Cup. In 2026/27, the side will be led by Álvaro Arbeloa who was appointed Head Coach on 7 July 2026. The side’s first fixture of the new 2026/27 Premier League campaign is at home (Craven Cottage) against Chelsea on 24 August 2026.
