Fulham
The Cottagers
Fulham Football Club, founded in 1879, is London's oldest professional football club. Based in Fulham, West London, the club plays at Craven Cottage, a charming 25,700-capacity stadium on the banks of the River Thames that is considered one of English football's most picturesque grounds. Fulham reached the UEFA Europa League final in 2010, a remarkable achievement for a club of its size. Under the ownership of Shahid Khan since 2013, the club has invested in modernizing its facilities while preserving its historic character. Fulham has developed a reputation for attractive, possession-based football and has been a yo-yo club between the Premier League and Championship in recent years. The club's West London derbies against Chelsea are always hotly contested.
