Sheffield Wed

Sheffield Wednesday Football Club was founded in 1867, making them one of the world's oldest professional football clubs. Based in Sheffield, South Yorkshire, they play at Hillsborough, a grand stadium with a capacity of over 39,000. Known as 'The Owls', Wednesday have won four First Division titles and three FA Cups in their illustrious history. Their greatest era came in the 1930s and 1990s, when they were a consistent top-flight force. Sheffield Wednesday's rivalry with Sheffield United is one of English football's most passionate derbies. The club is currently competing in the Championship, focused on rebuilding and restoring their historic status. Their identity is built on community pride and the Steel City's enduring football culture.
