Since its inception in 1878, West Bromwich Albion Football Club - fondly nicknamed 'The Baggies' or simply West Brom - has been an iconic English football team. Not only was it one of the founding members of The Football League in 1888, but also achieved significant success over the years.
In 1920 they were crowned as champions and five times had won the FA Cup by 1968. Today, West Brom competes at second tier level and remains a respected name within England's ever-growing football culture
In the past few years, West Brom has fought to remain competitive in the top flight of English football. By 2019, they were back in the Premier League after a long period away from it—but their stay was short-lived as relegation followed shortly afterwards.
West Brom boasts a roster of notable alumni, such as Tony Brown, Jeff Astle and Johnny Giles. Die-hard supporters of the club flock to The Hawthorns – West Brom's home ground which can seat up to over 26,000 people - for electrifying matches with rival team Aston Villa in what is known as the "Second City Derby". Fans are devotedly passionate about their beloved Albion, creating an unparalleled atmosphere that makes every matchday special.
