History
West Ham United Football Club, founded in 1895 from Thames Ironworks, is a historic East London club and regular Premier League side. Known as the Hammers or Irons, it has won FA Cups and the Cup Winners’ Cup, keeping an identity tied to East London and a working-class tradition. Home is now the London Stadium after decades at Upton Park (Boleyn Ground). Claret and blue define the club, with London rivalries and support linked to the crossed hammers on the badge. The crossed hammers remain the unmistakable East London mark.
