Bournemouth

AFC Bournemouth, founded in 1899, is a club with one of English football's most remarkable underdog stories. Based in Bournemouth, Dorset, the Cherries play at the Vitality Stadium, a compact 11,364-capacity ground that is the smallest in the Premier League. Under the stewardship of Eddie Howe, Bournemouth rose from the fourth tier to the Premier League in just six years (2009-2015), defying the odds with attractive, attacking football. Now owned by Bill Foley, the club has re-established itself in the top flight under manager Andoni Iraola, playing an exciting, high-tempo style. Bournemouth represents the spirit of overachievement and community football at its finest.
