Newcastle United Football Club, established in 1892, is a prominent English football team based in Newcastle upon Tyne. Playing at the 52,374-capacity St James’ Park, Newcastle is renowned for its black-and-white striped shirts and rich history in the Premier League. The club has secured four league titles, six FA Cups, and an Inter-Cities Fairs Cup, marking a successful early 20th century. Despite recent relegations in 2009 and 2016, Newcastle quickly bounced back to the Premier League. A major change occurred in October 2021 with a takeover by a Saudi-led consortium. The club’s anthem “Blaydon Races” and film “Goal!” highlight its deep local and cultural roots.
