Fulham is a club in London.

Fulham F.C. is a football club located in London, England. It was founded in 1879 and its home stadium is Craven Farm Stadium. The team emblem was originally designed in the 19th century and features the Sword of Saint Paul. Later, it was revised twice and finally simplified to the current pattern. The three red letters are the abbreviation of Fulham Football Club.

In the 1960s, the team spent most of their time in the old League One (predecessor of the Premier League) but did not win any important trophies. In 1975, they finally reached the FA Cup final, but unfortunately finished second. In the 1990s, Egyptian businessman Fayed entered the club. Fulham was promoted to the Premier League in 2001 after receiving significant financial support. Since then, there have been many relegation crises, but each time they have successfully avoided relegation. In the 2009-10 season, the club once again ushered in its highlight moment, finishing second in the UEFA Europa League.

The development history of Fulham Football Club

In 1879, a group of church worshipers founded Fulham Football Club, which was named Fulham in 1888. Before establishing their home stadium as Craven Cottage in 1896, they did not have their own home ground and could only wander around.

In 1907, Fulham joined the English Football League. It was not until 40 years later that they entered the top league for the first time, but they were relegated to the second division shortly thereafter. From the 1950s to the 1970s, Fulham maintained its place in the top league under the leadership of the legendary Heinis. Later legends such as Bobby Moore and George Best all played for Fulham in the 1970s. Potency.

But the weak foundation eventually caused the team to be relegated. In the late 1970s, they were relegated from the top league and fell into the abyss.

After entering the 1980s and 1990s, the new chairman Fayed spent generously, and the team was finally promoted to the Premier League in 2001. Last season, they struggled to avoid relegation under the leadership of Tigana. In the end, Coleman, the youngest coach in the Premier League, retained his place in the Premier League with a 13th place finish after taking over.

Fulham had a relatively strong momentum last season. They got rid of the image of a relegation underdog and finally achieved 9th place. However, due to Fulham selling Sean Davis in the new season The strength of other key players has been weakened to a certain extent, so it is extremely difficult to surpass last season's achievements.

But this season, with the outstanding performance of players such as Dempsey and Zamora introduced by the team, the team reached the finals of the first European League. This was the first time in the history of the team that it entered Europe. The final of the tournament. Amid the strong rise of Tottenham, Manchester City and Villa in the Premier League, Fulham still remains in the top half of the standings with its excellent record, and even defeated defending champion Manchester United at home. I believe Fulham will not be just a flash in the pan under the leadership of coach Hodgson.

In the 2009-10 season, Fulham defeated the defending champion Shakhtar Donetsk in the UEFA Europa League, reversed Juventus, and defeated the two Bundesliga giants Wolfs Hamburg and Hamburg, reached the final, but unfortunately were beaten 2-1 in overtime by Atletico Madrid in the final, losing the first European championship in the club's history.

In the summer of 2010, coach Hodgson left to serve as the head coach of Liverpool. Mark Hughes took over and led the team in the 2010-11 Premier League season.

On June 7, 2011, Martin Jol replaced Mark Hughes who resigned as Fulham's head coach. He signed a two-year coaching agreement with Fulham.

In the 2013/14 season, Fulham performed poorly in the league and fell into a relegation crisis. Although the club hired German Magav as the new head coach in the middle of the season, it ultimately failed to avoid relegation and was eliminated in 2014/15. The club's fall from the Championship this year ended its thirteen-year Premier League career.
