Hull

Hull City AFC, founded in 1904, is based in Kingston upon Hull, a port city on the Humber estuary in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England. Competing in the Championship, the club plays at the MKM Stadium, a modern arena in the heart of the city. Known as the Tigers for their distinctive amber and black stripes, Hull reached the Premier League for the first time in 2008 and even played in the 2014 FA Cup Final, losing narrowly to Arsenal after leading at half-time. The club has an Egyptian ownership group who have invested in strengthening the squad. Hull plays an attacking, fast-paced brand of football and benefits from the passionate local support of a city with a rich sporting culture, including rugby league, which shares the city's sporting heart.
