Description

Sheffield Wednesday Football Club are a professional football club based in Sheffield, South Yorkshire, England who currently compete in the Football League of England in The Championship division, the second tier of English football. Wednesday are one of the oldest professional clubs in the world and since first joining the Football League in 1892 they have competed in the top-flight for the majority of their history. Their main rivals are Sheffield United, and the two clubs have contested the Steel City derby on a regular basis for some 100 years.

The Owls have won four League titles, three FA Cups and one League Cup, but their League Cup triumph in 1991 is their only major trophy since World War II. They did reach both domestic cup finals in 1993, but lost 2–1 to Arsenal each time.

They play their home matches at Hillsborough Stadium in the north-western suburb of Owlerton, a 39,814 all-seater stadium built in 1899 when the lease expired at their previous ground at Olive Grove. The largest attendance was 72,841, which was achieved in 1934.
