**Arsenal Football Club** is an English professional football club based in Islington, North London. Nicknamed **The Gunners**, they currently compete in the Premier League and play their home games at the Emirates Stadium.

The club was founded in 1886 as *Dial Square* in Woolwich, South London. One month after the club's foundation, it was renamed to *Royal Arsenal*. In 1893, it was renamed once again, this time to *Woolwich Arsenal*. In 1913, the club moved to the newly built Arsenal Stadium in Highbury, North London and was subsequently renamed to *The Arsenal*. Arsenal's move to North London ignited a rivalry with local side Tottenham Hotspur, a rivalry which is still heated to this day.

Arsenal are one of England's most successful clubs, winning 13 league titles (including one unbeaten title), a record 14 FA Cups, two League Cups, 16 FA Community Shields, the League Centenary Trophy, one European Cup Winners' Cup, and one Inter-Cities Fairs Cup.

In 1903, they became the first club from the South of England to join the Football League, reaching the First Division a year later in 1904. Since that year, bar one season, the club have remained in the top tier of English football.
