Brentford Football Club was founded in 1889 and is based in West London. For a long time, the club played in the lower divisions of English football and was best known as a modest, traditional club with a loyal local following. In 2021, Brentford were promoted to the Premier League for the first time, after years of steady build-up and smart, data-driven club management.
Since 2020, the club has played at the modern Gtech Community Stadium, which can accommodate around 17,000 spectators. Before that, Griffin Park was Brentford’s home for decades, known for its old-world charm and the fact that there were four pubs on each corner of the stadium.
Brentford is located in the Brentford district, a part of West London near the River Thames. The club has managed to hold its own among the big London teams in recent years, with a recognisable style of play and clever transfers. What was once an underdog has now become a stable Premier League club with a rapidly growing reputation.
