History of Aston Villa
Founding and Early Years
Aston Villa was founded on 21 November 1874 by members of a Methodist cricket group in Birmingham, making the club one of the founding members of the Football League in 1888.
Club Evolution
The club has played its home matches at Villa Park since 1897, a historic stadium with a capacity of around 43,205.
Great Managers
Ron Saunders led the club to its seventh English league title in 1981, before Tony Barton took over and won the European Cup in 1982 against Bayern Munich, the club's only continental triumph. Unai Emery has managed the team since 2022 and returned it to the Champions League.
Iconic Players
The club has been carried by figures such as Peter Withe, scorer of the winning goal in the 1982 European final, in a side that only played in that competition thanks to its league title the previous year.
Major Achievements
Aston Villa have won seven English league titles, most recently in 1981, along with the European Cup in 1982, making them the only Birmingham club to have won Europe's most prestigious competition.
The Club Today
Presided over by Nassef Sawiris and managed by Unai Emery, Aston Villa have returned to the European stage in recent seasons, driven by renewed ambition since the club's takeover by the V Sports consortium.
