199 Club Badge

Middlesbrough Football Club, affectionately known as Boro, was founded in 1876 and is based in Middlesbrough, North Yorkshire, England. The club’s home matches are played at the Riverside Stadium, a modern 34,742-seat venue that became their base in 1995, replacing Ayresome Park, their historic home since 1903. Renowned for its deep-rooted connection to the local community, Boro embodies the spirit and resilience of Teesside.

The club enjoyed its golden era in the late 1990s and early 2000s under manager Steve McClaren, securing its first major silverware, the League Cup, in 2004 and reaching the UEFA Cup final in 2006. Middlesbrough has a proud history of developing local talent, with football legends like Wilf Mannion and modern stars such as Stewart Downing emerging from its ranks.

A fixture in English football’s narrative, Boro continues to aspire for success, blending tradition with a vision for the future.
