Nicknamed “The Cherries,” the club has a rich history of rising through the English football pyramid under transformative managers, most notably Eddie Howe, who led Bournemouth from League Two to the Premier League for the first time in 2015. After a brief relegation in 2020, the club returned to the Premier League in 2022 as Championship runners-up. In the 2025–26 season, Bournemouth achieved its highest-ever league finish (6th) and qualified for the UEFA Europa League for the first time. Owned by Black Knight Football Club (a consortium led by American businessman Bill Foley), the club operates with a modern commercial structure, including partnerships with brands such as Vitality, Renaissance Asset Finance, and ESET for cybersecurity. AFC Bournemouth also fields a women’s team, runs an academy, and engages in extensive community outreach through its Community Sports Trust.

  Everton

  Hill Dickinson Stadium, Liverpool, England

  Everton Football Club is a historic English professional football club based in Liverpool and one of the founding members of both the Football League (1888) and the Premier League (1992). Founded in 1878 as St. Domingo's FC, the club has played a record 123 top-flight seasons. After 133 years at Goodison Park, Everton moved to the new 52,888-seat Hill Dickinson Stadium on Liverpool's waterfront for the 2025-26 season, financed by a £760 million project backed by JP Morgan. The club was acquired in December 2024 by The Friedkin Group, led by American billionaire Dan Friedkin, ending years of financial instability under previous owner Farhad Moshiri. Despite recent on-field struggles, Everton remains a constant presence in the Premier League under manager David Moyes, who returned in January 2025. The club's extensive community arm, Everton in the Community, runs wide-ranging social programs, while commercial partnerships include a shirt sponsorship with Stake.com and a training kit deal with Christopher Ward.
