Chelsea, one of the most successful teams in the Premier League, was founded in 1905 by an English businessman named Garth Meare. Garth Meare's initial intention was to sell his existing home ground, Stamford Bridge, to an existing team. He later decided not to sell it and instead founded Chelsea Football Club. Initially, Chelsea were made up of only British players, but in 1913, Danish player Nei Mittelboe joined the Chelsea team, becoming the first non-British player to play for the club. Chelsea won their first trophy, the League Cup, in 1955.

After winning the title, 10 years later, in 1965, the club won its first League Cup, and five years later, in 1970, the club won its first FA Cup. In 1971, it won the FA Cup. In 1982, Chelsea's owner, Gareth Bale, sold the club to a financier named Ken Betts due to financial problems. Under the new owner, Chelsea could no longer challenge for the same trophies and titles as before. Only after the arrival of Ragnarok and Gianfranco Zola, did they regain their good form and shine again after 1996. Chelsea won the FA Cup twice more, in 1997 and 2000. Chelsea were a team with few British players and were largely made up of foreign players.

In 1999, Chelsea's first match against Southampton was without a single British player in their squad, making them the first team to have no British players. The club achieved great success in 1998, winning the League Cup, FA Cup and FA Cup. Chelsea's owner, Campbell, was in financial trouble and sold the club to Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich for £60 million in 2003. Abramovich's first manager was Jose Mourinho, known as the Special One. He also spent a lot of money on transfers. Chelsea's most successful period came with Abramovich becoming the club's de facto owner.

Chelsea won the Premier League title in 2005 and 2006 under manager Jose Mourinho. They also won the League Cup in 2005 and 2007. They only won the FA Cup in 2007. Chelsea's first European success came in 2012, when they beat German giants Bayern Munich on penalties to win their first European Cup. The following year, they won the Europa League. In 2021, Chelsea won their first European Cup. The Russian-Ukrainian war has forced the British government to block the business of Chelsea owner Abramovich, forcing him to sell the club.

In 2022, the American billionaire sold the club to Boleyn. Since its inception, Chelsea has won 6 Premier League titles, 8 FA Cups, 5 FA Cups, and 4 Community Shields, and has won 2 Champions Leagues, 2 Europa Leagues, 2 UEFA Cups, 2 UEFA Super Cups, 2 UEFA Super Cups, and 1 FIFA Club World Cup. This is a story about the most successful club in London football, Chelsea. Thank you to everyone who read this to the end.
