Nottingham Forest Football Club was founded in 1865 and is one of the oldest professional football clubs in the world. The club is based in Nottingham, in the East of England, and plays its home games at the City Ground, a stadium on the River Trent with a capacity of over 30,000. Forest enjoyed their greatest success in the late 1970s under legendary manager Brian Clough. During that period, the club won the English league title in a short period and, to everyone’s surprise, won the European Cup twice in a row, in 1979 and 1980 — a unique achievement for a club of its size.

Although Nottingham Forest disappeared from the English top flight for a long time after those glory days, the club has endured as a symbol of pride and history. In 2022, Forest returned to the Premier League, supported by a loyal fan base that has never stopped believing.

The city of Nottingham is known for its medieval history, the legend of Robin Hood, and its role in the Industrial Revolution. It is a compact, vibrant city with a rich sporting culture. Nottingham Forest is deeply embedded in the community and remains an important source of identity for the city’s residents.
