West Ham United Football Club

West Ham United is a club with deep roots in East London, founded in 1895 as Thames Ironworks. The club is famous for its academy, which produced players such as Bobby Moore, Geoff Hurst, and Martin Peters — a trio fundamental to England's conquest of the 1966 World Cup. Since 2016, West Ham plays at the London Stadium, the former Olympic stadium of London.

History

Born from the shipyards of the River Thames, West Ham built a solid identity based on technical football and talent development. The club won the FA Cup three times and the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup in 1965, defeating Munich 1860 in the final. The golden generation of the 1960s, with Moore, Hurst, and Peters, secured West Ham a permanent place in the history of English football.
