Chelsea history
Chelsea formed in 1905 and named itself after the neighboring Chelsea area. The first major trophy was the First Division title in 1955, and the first Premier League crown arrived in 2004-05. Nicknamed the Blues, the team switched early on from light blue shirts to the royal blue home strip it still wears.
Europe has been kind to Chelsea. After Cup Winners' Cup wins in 1971 and 1998, the club lifted the Champions League in 2012 and 2021 and the Europa League in 2013 and 2019. Winning the Conference League in 2025 made Chelsea the first club to have lifted every one of the four main UEFA trophies. Club World Cup titles came in 2021 and 2025, the latter in the first 32-team edition. At home, the count includes six league titles, eight FA Cups and five League Cups.
