Aston Villa

Aston Villa Football Club, founded in 1874, is one of the oldest and most successful clubs in English football history. Based in Birmingham at Villa Park, a 42,657-capacity stadium, Villa was a founding member of both the Football League in 1888 and the Premier League in 1992. The club won the European Cup in 1982, defeating Bayern Munich in the final, making it one of only a few English clubs to claim continental glory. Villa has won 7 league titles and 7 FA Cups throughout its distinguished history. Under Unai Emery's management, the club has experienced a remarkable resurgence, qualifying for European competition and re-establishing itself as a top-half Premier League side.
