Chelsea: Club Overview

Chelsea is a football club from London, which over the past few decades has grown from a simple team in the western part of the city to one of the most famous in the world. Founded in 1905, Chelsea remained in the shadow of the London giants for a long time, but then changed everything.

Now it is not just a club - it is a brand associated with big matches, strong players and constant struggle for trophies.

Chelsea story

When Chelsea appeared on the football map, it was not a great start. At first, the team played without special achievements, and even despite the good attendance of the matches, couldn't stay among the leaders.

In the first half of the XX century Chelsea sometimes went to the first division, then again fell to the second. The main thing that was missing was stability.

The first high-profile moment happened in 1955, when the club won the England Championship. It was a sensation, but not the beginning of dominance - rather a short celebration. Years of struggle for survival followed again.

In the 90s, the club began to actively search for a new identity: the first legionnaires, big names, more interesting football.

The turning point came in 2003, when the club was bought by Roman Abramovich. A new era has begun: financing, star transfers, top coaches. Chelsea became a contender for all trophies.

José Mourinho, who came in 2004, made the team a victory machine: championship, cups, stability at the top.

In 2012 — the first ever victory in the Champions League. In 2021 — a repeat of success with a new team and coach.

Today there are new owners and challenges, but the constant desire to be on top.

Champions League — 2012, 2021.
Europe League — 2013, 2019.
