West Ham United FC

West Ham United FC are east London's football pride, playing home matches at the London Stadium, the repurposed centerpiece of the 2012 Olympics. Known as the Hammers, the club has a working-class heritage and a fan culture built around the terrace anthem 'I'm Forever Blowing Bubbles.' West Ham have spent the vast majority of their history in England's top flight, and while a league title has always eluded them, the club has built a reputation for cup pedigree and a fiercely loyal following.

Founded in 1895 as Thames Ironworks before becoming West Ham United in 1900, the club joined the Football League in 1919 and reached the top flight in 1923. West Ham have never won the English league title but have won the FA Cup three times, in 1964, 1975 and 1980, and famously lifted the European Cup Winners' Cup in 1965. The club added a modern European triumph in 2023, winning the inaugural UEFA Conference League title.
