Club Information

Club History
Coventry City F.C. was founded in 1883 as Singers F.C., named after the local bicycle company, before adopting their current name in 1898. The club joined the Football League in 1919 and rose to prominence under Jimmy Hill in the 1960s, reaching the First Division in 1967.
Their greatest triumph came in 1987, when they won the FA Cup, defeating Tottenham Hotspur in a dramatic 3–2 final — a landmark moment in the club’s history. Coventry City spent 34 consecutive seasons in the top flight between 1967 and 2001, known for their distinctive sky blue kits and loyal fanbase.
About the Coventry Building Society Arena
The Coventry Building Society Arena (formerly the Ricoh Arena) has been the home of Coventry City since 2005. Located in the north of Coventry, the stadium has a capacity of around 32,000 and was purpose-built to provide modern facilities for both football and events.
The ground has hosted international fixtures, concerts, rugby matches, and major sporting events, making it a multi-use venue. After several temporary relocations in recent years, Coventry returned to the arena as permanent tenants, reinforcing its status as the club’s true home.
