Arsenal history
The club was started in 1886 by people making munitions at the Royal Arsenal, Woolwich. In 1893 it became the first southern English club in the Football League, and it moved up to the First Division in 1904. The run in the top tier that followed has lasted more than 105 years, the longest active streak in English football.
Arsenal have collected 14 league titles, one of them won without a defeat, plus a record 14 FA Cups, 2 League Cups and 18 Community Shields. The 1930s brought five championships, and the 1970-71 season delivered the first league and FA Cup double. Two more doubles arrived between 1989 and 2005. From 1998 to 2017 the club qualified for the Champions League nineteen straight seasons, an English record, and it finished as runner-up in that competition in 2006 and 2026.
