Club History
Fulham are one of London’s oldest football clubs, founded in 1879. Craven Cottage — their home on the banks of the Thames — is one of the most picturesque grounds in English football. Under Mohamed Al-Fayed’s ownership, Fulham reached the Premier League and even the UEFA Cup final in 2010. After years of yo-yoing between the Premier League and Championship, Marco Silva‘s appointment in 2021 finally brought stability. They have now established themselves as a consistently mid-table Premier League club.
