History of Sunderland

Founding and Early Years

Sunderland Association Football Club was founded in 1879, before becoming one of the most decorated clubs in English football during the early decades of professionalism.

Club Evolution

After decades at Roker Park, the club moved in 1997 to the Stadium of Light, one of the largest venues in England, with a capacity of 49,000.

Great Managers

Sunderland dominated English football from the late 19th to the early 20th century, winning six league titles between 1892 and 1936. After quieter decades, including a relegation as far as the third tier, Régis Le Bris brought the club back to the Premier League in 2025 after eight years away.

Iconic Players

The club has been carried by generations of players iconic to the north-east of England, in a city where football holds a central place in local identity.

Major Achievements

Sunderland have won six English league titles (1892, 1893, 1895, 1902, 1913, 1936), two FA Cups (1937, 1973) and two Charity Shields (1903, 1936).

The Club Today

Chaired by Kyril Louis-Dreyfus and managed by Régis Le Bris, Sunderland are enjoying their return among England's elite, backed by one of the most passionate fanbases in the country.
