The club's origins and achievements

The club was founded in 1892, in a city that bears the full name Newcastle upon Tyne, usually shortened to just Newcastle. The city is located in the county of Tyne and Wear in the north-east of England. This is also where the name for the above derby between the main rivals comes from.

In addition, it won the FA Cup 6 times, where the achievements again go back to the 1950s. At the European level, it is worth mentioning the Intertoto Cup, which is one of the achievements of modern history. In fact, the club won it in 2006.
