Sheffield United FC

Sheffield United is an English football team whose history dates back to 1889, when it was formed as an offshoot of the local cricket club. Because of their origins in a city with a rich history in the manufacture of steel, they are nicknamed the Blades. Since their inception, they have played at Bramall Lane Stadium, which today has a capacity of over 32,000.

Recently the team has gone through financial difficulties. In this regard, it helped a lot that in 2013 a Saudi prince became a half owner of Sheffield United. The team was thus able to fight its way back to the top English competition over time. This was the 2019/2020 season, before that they last played in the Premier League in the 2006/2007 season.

Sheffield United have also racked up success in the leagues they have played in the past, but during their time in the top flight, they have been more from mid-table downwards. Even so, he managed to dominate the original non-league once. Of course, that was in 1898, and the FA Cup triumphs are similarly old, having taken place in 1899, 1902, 1915 and 1925. After that, there were still a few more successes in the lower leagues to follow.
