ABOUT AFC BOURNEMOUTH
Having established the start of an exciting new chapter in our long and storied history since a takeover in 2022 by chairman Bill Foley, AFC Bournemouth has seen significant investment committed towards sustaining Premier League status.
The construction of a state-of-the-art training facility alongside the arrival of promising young talent from top clubs around Europe have provided the club with a fantastic platform from which to build its on-field expectations.
We have placed an importance on maintaining the same focus on family and community that we have proudly displayed over the years, and delivering that engagement with our loyal supporters is a passionate and integrated backroom staff, working closely together to provide a positive and lasting experience for all.
OUR HISTORY
Founded in 1899, originally as Boscombe FC, before becoming AFC Bournemouth in 1971. From our early days on the south coast, we've risen through the ranks of English football, often facing challenges head-on—both on and off the pitch.
Our proudest moment came in the 2014/15 season, when we won the Championship title and earned promotion to the Premier League for the very first time. It was a historic achievement that marked the start of a new chapter for our club.
Since then, we’ve continued to defy expectations. Reaching as high as seventh in the Premier League, we’ve shown that with determination, teamwork, and belief, together, anything is possible.
From humble beginnings to the top tier of English football, our journey is a testament to the passion of our supporters and the resilience that defines AFC Bournemouth.
