Chelsea FC history

Founded in 1905, Chelsea struggled to establish themselves as a dominant force in English football in their early years. However, the club's rise to prominence truly began after the 2003 takeover by Roman Abramovich. Under the management of José Mourinho, Chelsea won their first league title in 50 years in 2005, marking the beginning of an era of dominance. They went on to claim the Premier League title five more times and secure five FA Cups, further solidifying their place among England’s elite.

Chelsea’s success wasn't limited to domestic competitions. In 2012, the club achieved European glory, winning the Champions League under Roberto Di Matteo in a dramatic final against Bayern Munich. This historic win was repeated in 2021 when Chelsea defeated Manchester City 1-0, with Kai Havertz scoring the decisive goal.
