Despite never winning a league title, West Ham are one of England's best supported clubs. With a rich history and a passionate fanbase, they are an icon of British football.
West Ham United are a Premier League football club based in East London, England.
The club is famous for their youth academy, which has recently produced notable England internationals such as Frank Lampard, Joe Cole, Rio Ferdinand, Michael Carrick and Declan Rice.
West Ham are also renowned for several iconic players including 1966 World Cup winners Bobby Moore, Sir Geoff Hurst and Martin Peters - all products of the club's academy.
West Ham play at the 66,000-seater London Stadium in Stratford after moving from the Boleyn Ground in Upton Park in 2016. The club's nickname is the Hammers or the Irons, after their original name Thames Ironworks.
The club have won the FA Cup three times, the European Cup Winners' Cup once and most recently the Europa Conference League in 2023.
Their best finish in the top flight of English football was third in the 1985/86 season.
West Ham fans will always point out the club also won the World Cup in 1966 for England, as the club provided all the goalscorers (Hurst hat-trick and a Peters strike) and the captain who lifted the trophy - Bobby Moore.
