This article dives into everything you need to know about the Cherries, including their current squad, coaching staff, world ranking, and of course, their iconic nickname.

Athletic Football Club Bournemouth (AFC Bournemouth) is an English football club based in Bournemouth. Currently playing in the Premier League.

They will compete in the Premier League in the 2023-24 season after being promoted. The club was founded in 1899 as Boscombe and took its current name in 1971. Nicknamed “The Cherries”, Bournemouth has played their home games at Dean Court since 1910.

The colours of their house are red and black striped shirts, with black shorts and socks, inspired by the colours of the Italian club AC Milan.

Initially known as Boscombe, the club competed in the regional football leagues before moving from the Hampshire League to the Southern League in 1920. Now known as Bournemouth and Boscombe Athletic, they were elected to the Football League in 1923. They remained in the third tier. South for 35 years, they won the Third Division Cup in 1946. They were placed in the newly reorganized Division Three in 1958, suffered relegation in 1970 but won immediate promotion in 1970-71.

Relegated to the fourth tier in 1975, Bournemouth was promoted again in 1981-82 and after lifting the Associates’ Cup in 1984 they went on to win the third-tier title in 1986-87. They spent three seasons in the second tier but entered management in 1997 and finished in the fourth tier again with relegation in 2002, although they immediately got a promotion by winning the play-offs in 2003.

Bournemouth entered management for a second time and was relegated to League Two again in 2008, but ended the year by appointing Eddie Howe as manager. Under Howe’s direction, Bournemouth won three promotions in six years to earn a place in the top flight of English football for the first time.

This was achieved by finishing second in League Two in 2009-10, second place in League One in 2012-13, and the Championship title in 2014-15. The club remained in the Premier League for five seasons before suffering relegation in 2020, but returned in 2022 as runners-up, under coach Scott Parker.
