Leeds United Football Club, founded in 1919, emerged from the ashes of Leeds City and quickly established itself as a formidable force in English football. Playing at their historic Elland Road ground, Leeds rose to prominence under legendary manager Don Revie in the 1960s and 1970s. That era brought a series of major honors, including league championships, an FA Cup triumph in 1972, and European success through the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup. Known for their hard-nosed style and passionate support, “The Whites” cultivated intense rivalries, most famously with Manchester United. Following a golden age, the club experienced turbulent periods marked by financial struggles and relegation from the Premier League in 2004. After years in the lower divisions, Leeds returned to top-flight football in 2020 under Marcelo Bielsa’s guidance, rekindling hope and pride among their loyal fans. Today, Leeds United remains a symbol of resilience, tradition, and unyielding devotion within English football.
