About Chelsea Football Club
Chelsea Football Club is one of the world’s top football clubs.
The current Premier League champions, Chelsea were UEFA Champions
League winners in 2012, following that success by lifting the UEFA
Europa League trophy in 2013. Founded in 1905, Chelsea is London’s
most central football club, based at the iconic 42,000-capacity
Stamford Bridge stadium.
Nicknamed ‘The Blues’, Chelsea are four-time English Premier
League champions and have also lifted the FA Cup seven times, the
Football League Cup five times, the UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup twice,
the UEFA Super Cup once and the Football League Championship once,
in 1955. The Europa League triumph saw Chelsea become the first
English club to win all three major UEFA competitions, and the
first club ever to hold both the Champions League and Europa League
at the same time.
In addition to possessing some of the world’s most recognisable
players, Chelsea is coached by Jose Mourinho, one of the most
successful figures in the game.
Chelsea has also invested in its future with a state-of-the-art
Academy and training centre in Cobham, Surrey. Since its opening in
2007, the club has reached six FA Youth Cup finals, lifting the
trophy four times and in 2015 lifted the UEFA Youth League for the
first time as well as the Youth Cup.
Additionally, the Chelsea Foundation boasts one of the most
extensive community initiatives in sport, working in 30 countries
around the world, helping improve the lives of more than 900,000
children and young people each year.
