Nottingham Forest F.C.

Nottingham Forest Football Club is a professional football club based in West Bridgford, Nottingham, England. Founded in 1865, Forest have played their home games at the City Ground since 1898. One of six English clubs to have won the European Cup, Nottingham Forest currently compete in the Premier League, the top division of the English football league system. Nottingham Forest have won two European Cups (now the UEFA Champions League), one UEFA Super Cup, one League title, two FA Cups, four League Cups, and one FA Charity Shield. The club has competed in the top two tiers of English football since its admission to the Football League, with the exception of five seasons in the third tier. Its most successful period was under the management of Brian Clough and Peter Taylor in the late 1970s and early 1980s, which included back-to-back wins in the then European Cup in 1979 and 1980. In Clough's last decade at the club, the Nottingham Forest team won the 1989 and 1990 League Cups and were losing finalists in the 1991 FA Cup Final and 1992 League Cup Final, before relegation from the Premier League in 1993. Upon an immediate return, Forest finished third in the Premier League in 1995 before again suffering relegation from the top flight in 1997 and 1999. The team returned to the Premier League by winning the 2022 Championship play-off final against Huddersfield Town. Forest's fiercest rivalry is with Derby County, with which club it contests an East Midlands derby. The two clubs have met a total of 109 times, with Forest claiming the most victories (43), the longest win streak (5), and the longest unbeaten run (10) which runs from 11 March 2018 to the present day. In 2007 the Brian Clough Trophy was founded, which has since then been given to the winner of this East Midlands derby.
