OUR STORY

WE ARE ASTON VILLA

We are at the heart of English football, a majestic name, with a decorated past that serves as a shining light among our peers.

​In 1874 our cricketing founders met under a gas lamp and chose Football as their sport.

 Led by Aston Villa Director, William McGregor, the Football League was created in 1888, of which we are one of the founding members. We are one of only five English Clubs to have won the European Cup, in 1981-82.

Fast forward to more recent times, Aston Villa Football Club is proud that both of our First Teams compete in the top flight of English Men’s and Women’s Football.

In the 2018/19 Championship campaign, our Men’s First Team soared with a Club-record 10 league game winning streak and were successful in achieving promotion back to the Premier League.

Alongside this, in the 2019/20 campaign, our Women’s First Team secured promotion to the Women’s Super League.
