Overview Chelsea Football Club is a west London club that in 2025 became the first to win all four of UEFA's main club competitions, completing the set with the Conference League. Both first teams play at Stamford Bridge: the women moved every home Women's Super League match there from the 2026-27 season. The club was founded in 1905 at the Rising Sun pub on Fulham Road: Gus Mears held the lease on the Bridge, an athletics ground since 1877, and when Fulham declined to play there he started his own club to fill it. A consortium led by Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital bought Chelsea in May 2022. Matchday Stamford Bridge sits on Fulham Road, about five minutes from Fulham Broadway on the District line, which has its own match-day entrance. Four covered stands close the ground: the Matthew Harding to the north, the East Stand, the Shed End to the south and the West Stand. A long stretch of the old Shed End terrace wall still runs along the south side, and Peter Osgood's ashes lie under the penalty spot at that end, with his statue near the West Stand. The site also holds two hotels, restaurants, bars, a spa, the Megastore and the club museum behind the Matthew Harding Stand. Talent and Influencers Xabi Alonso was appointed head coach on May 17, 2026, after Enzo Maresca left the club on January 1, 2026. Track record Honors: six English league titles, eight FA Cups and five League Cups; the Champions League in 2012 and 2021, the Europa League in 2013 and 2019, the Cup Winners' Cup in 1971 and 1998 and the Conference League in 2025; the FIFA Club World Cup in 2021 and 2025. The ground's record crowd is 82,905, for Arsenal in 1935. Brand presence The kit is sold in parts. Nike has made it since July 2017, IFS took the front of the shirt in February 2026 after a spell with no main shirt sponsor, and the training-kit sleeve is sold as its own position, carrying the interview backdrop and static boards at the training ground with it. Global partners get LED exposure, use of the club's marks, player and legends appearances, stadium tours and hospitality. With the men's and women's teams now sharing Stamford Bridge, a partner inside the ground is in front of both teams' home crowds across overlapping seasons.
