Club Information

Club History
Watford F.C. was founded in 1881, originally as Watford Rovers, before adopting their current name in 1898. The club joined the Football League in 1920 and has enjoyed various successful periods, particularly in the late 1970s and early 1980s under the ownership of Elton John and management of Graham Taylor.
Watford rose rapidly through the divisions to finish runners-up in the First Division in 1982–83 and reached the FA Cup Final in 1984. In modern times, the club has had several spells in the Premier League, known for their attacking style and passionate fanbase.
About Vicarage Road
Vicarage Road has been Watford’s home since 1922. Located close to Watford town centre in Hertfordshire, the stadium currently has a capacity of just over 22,000.
The ground has undergone significant redevelopment in recent decades, including new stands and modern facilities, making it a compact yet atmospheric venue. Its central location means parking can be limited on matchdays, so pre-booking with JustPark is highly recommended to avoid queues and delays.
