Bournemouth Tickets

Bournemouth: Club History

Founded in 1899 as Boscombe FC, the club adopted the name AFC Bournemouth in 1972. The Cherries’ rise to the Premier League in 2015 marked the beginning of a historic era, establishing them as a competitive top-flight side despite being one of the smallest clubs in the league.

The club’s identity is built around resilience, attacking football, and a loyal fanbase who create a lively atmosphere at the Vitality Stadium.

Bournemouth Rivalries:

• Southampton (South Coast Derby): The fiercest rivalry, full of passion whenever the clubs meet. Unfortunately, you won’t see it yourself this year, because Southampton are competing in the Championship, while Bournemouth are in the Premier League.
• Portsmouth: Another heated South Coast clash with plenty of history.
• Brighton & Hove Albion A growing modern rivalry due to frequent league encounters.
