Newcastle United

Newcastle play at St James' Park, their iconic home since 1892. With a capacity of 52,305, this atmospheric stadium in the heart of Newcastle city center is famous for its passionate Geordie support and is considered one of English football's most intimidating venues.

Newcastle finished 5th with 66 points, recording 20 wins and scoring an impressive 68 goals. Despite conceding 47 goals, their attacking excellence under Eddie Howe secured European qualification and demonstrated their return to competing with England's elite clubs.

Newcastle have won 4 English league titles (most recently 1926-27), 6 FA Cups, and the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup. While their last major trophy came in 1955, the club's passionate support and rich history make them one of England's most beloved institutions globally.

Newcastle legends include Alan Shearer (the Premier League's all-time top scorer and Newcastle icon), Jackie Milburn, Malcolm Macdonald, Peter Beardsley, and Kevin Keegan (both as player and manager). These figures are revered by Geordies and football fans worldwide.

Newcastle are known as 'The Magpies' due to their distinctive black and white striped kit, resembling the magpie bird. They're also called the 'Toon' or 'Toon Army' by their passionate supporters, a nickname recognized across global football.

Newcastle's fiercest rivalry is with Sunderland in the Tyne-Wear Derby, one of English football's most passionate local derbies (when Sunderland are in the Premier League). They also have competitive rivalries with Manchester United and Middlesbrough.

Eddie Howe became Newcastle manager in November 2021 and has transformed the club's fortunes. The English tactician has implemented an attacking, high-intensity style that has restored Newcastle to European competition and excited fans from Tyneside to Thailand.

Newcastle fans are renowned as among the most passionate and loyal in world football. Despite years without trophies, St James' Park consistently sells out, and the Geordie faithful's unwavering support has made them legendary across the global football community.

Newcastle enjoy significant support in Africa, particularly Nigeria and West Africa, as well as Asia and Scandinavia. Their distinctive kit, passionate fanbase, and recent resurgence have built a growing international following from Bangkok to Boston.
