Founded in 1879, Fulham Football Club is the oldest professional football team in London and one of English football’s most recognisable heritage clubs. Known as “The Whites,” Fulham have built a reputation for attractive, possession-driven football and for developing players who rise to top European levels.
The club’s location on the banks of the River Thames gives it a charm and character unlike any other Premier League side. Fulham are widely viewed as one of the most family-friendly, welcoming clubs in England — a stark contrast to the more intense footballing cultures across London.
Across the modern era, Fulham have established themselves as a strong Premier League competitor, securing impressive mid-table finishes and playing a controlled, technical brand of football that appeals to neutrals and purists alike.
Craven Cottage, Fulham’s home since 1896, is one of the most iconic and atmospheric grounds in world football.
Set directly beside the Thames, it combines tradition with modernity following the redevelopment of the Riverside Stand, which now offers enhanced capacity and hospitality.
