Start:
Stadium: Stamford Bridge
Town: London
Chelsea was founded on 10 March 1905 and since then Stamford Bridge has been the home of this London club. The stadium seats 41 631 spectators and is located in the Fulham district. The capacity of the stadium will increase in the coming years to about 55 000 places.
Since Russian Roman Abramovich took the club in 2003 for 86 million euros from Ken Bates, the number of successes of the club has increased significantly. In 2012 Chelsea won the Champions League and a year later the Europa League. In a distant past, the European Cup II was already seized twice and the Blues also won quite a number of prizes nationally. They were six times national champion, won the FA Cup eight times, five times the League Cup and four times the Community Shield.
Last season was a very poor one for ‘The Blues’. They finished only tenth in the Premier League. Things will have to improve significantly this season under new manager Xabi Alonso. The Spaniard has a squad featuring many star players, such as Cole Palmer, João Pedro, and Enzo Fernández.
