Arsenal history: where it all began

The history of Arsenal begins not with a big arena, but with a small workshop. The club was created by workmen of the arsenal in Woolwich - hence the name. In the early years, the team played mostly for themselves and local spectators, but gradually established themselves in London football.

In 1913 the club moved to a new stadium — Highbury — and began to write major pages in the history of the English game.

The real transformation came in the 30s when the team was led by Herbert Chapman. It was he who made Arsenal a leader — tactically, physically, mentally. In those years, the club won title after title and introduced new methods, which were later used by everyone.

In the post-war period successes alternated with pauses, but Arsenal always remained in the game. In the 90s everything changed — Arsene Wenger came. The Frenchman who brought to London not only new football, but also new vision.

\n
\"With him, the team played brightly, elegantly, quickly. In 2004, the Gunners went the entire season in the Premier League without a single defeat.\"
\n

It was not just a championship - it was a football work of art.

After Wenger the club had a difficult period. New coaches, change of generations, restructuring. But now, under Mikel Arteta, Arsenal once again look like a team that wants more than just being in the table.

He wants to become champion again - not because he has stars, but because he found his idea again.

Arsenal stadium

For many years, the heart of Arsenal was Highbury — cozy, compact, with narrow stands and character. It felt like the field was meeting the fans. But time passed, and the club needed a new arena.

This is how Emirates appeared — a modern stadium with more than 60,000 seats, opened in 2006.

Emirates is not as atmospheric as Highbury, but it became the foundation for a new era. Cesc Fabregas, Robin van Persie played here, and now Saka, Edegore, Rice. In this stadium, Arsenal was looking for itself and, it seems, found.

\n
\"At the Emirates, everything is built for comfort: space, sound, view. But most importantly, it has preserved the voice of Arsenal.\"
\n

On big match days, when the stadium is singing, when the tension is in the air, it becomes clear: this is not just a building. This is a new home.

In the football sense, Arsenal is a giant:

Thirteen times the club won the Championship of England. The last championship won without defeat became legendary. No one else has repeated this in the Premier League.
\n

\n
And also — two European Cup finals: 1994 Cup Winners' Cup, won against Parma, and Champions League 2006, when Arsenal put up a decent fight with Barcelona.
\n

\n
\"But Arsenal's achievements are not just about trophies. It's about the game. The style. The dedication to the idea.\"
\n

When a team builds an attack from the defender's first pass and leads it to a shot, the fans know that this is our football.
