About Sunderland

Sunderland Association Football is an English professional football club based in Sunderland, Tyne, and Wear. Sunderland plays in the Championship, the second tier of English football. Since its formation in 1879, the club has won six top-flight titles (1892, 1893, 1895, 1902, 1913, and 1936) in the Premier League (previously called First Division), and has finished runners-up five times. The club has also won the FA Cup twice (1937 and 1973) and been runners-up twice (1913 and 1992), winning the FA Charity Shield in 1936 and being finalists the following year. Sunderland has also been Football League Cup finalist in 1985 and 2014.

Between 1891 and 1939, “The Black Cats,” as they are known – in addition to their six league titles – finished in the bottom half of the league only ten times and in the top seven 28 times. Since World War II, their league performances have been considerably poorer, only finishing in the top half nine times (1947, 1949, 1950, 1953, 1955, 1956, 2000, 2001, and 2011), and only reaching the top seven four times (1950, 1955, 2000 and 2001). Furthermore, they have been relegated eleven times, and just over half of this period has been spent in the top flight (41 out of 76 seasons); Of the 35 seasons in which they were outside the top flight, five have been spent in the third tier.

Sunderland plays their home games at the 49,000-capacity all-seater Stadium of Light, having moved from Roker Park in 1997. The original ground capacity was 42,000, which was increased to 49,000 following expansion in 2000. The club has a long-standing rivalry with nearby club Newcastle United, with whom they have contested the Tyne–Wear derby since 1898. The club has played in red and white striped shirts and black shorts for nearly the entirety of its history.

Sunderland Home Stadium

The Stadium of Light is an all-seater football stadium in Sunderland, England, and the eighth and current home to Sunderland A.F.C. With space for 49,000 spectators, the Stadium of Light is the ninth-largest football stadium in England. The stadium primarily hosts Sunderland A.F.C. home matches. Chairman Bob Murray named the stadium to reflect the coal mining heritage of the North East and the former Monkwearmouth Colliery site on which it stands. A Davy lamp monument stands at the entrance to reflect the coal mining industry that brought prosperity to the town.

As well as hosting Sunderland games, the stadium has hosted three matches for the England national football team, an England under-20, an England under-21, and an England women’s team match. With an original capacity of 42,000, it was expanded in 2000 to seat 49,000. Its simple design allows for redevelopments up to a capacity of 63,000.

The attendance record at the Stadium of Light is 48,353, set on 13 April 2002, when Sunderland played Liverpool with the visitors running out 1–0 winners. Along with hosting football matches, the stadium has played host to performers such as Beyoncé, Rihanna, Oasis, Take That, Kings of Leon, Coldplay, Spice Girls, and Elton John. The ground also holds conference and banqueting suites, the Black Cats Bar, and a club shop selling Sunderland merchandise.

Sunderland Kit

See the Sunderland 2022–23 home football jersey from Nike below. The front, sleeves, and back of the Nike Sunderland 2022–2023 home football shirt have red and white striped accents. The collar, sleeve cuffs, and side panels of the Nike Sunderland 2022-2023 home shirt are black embellishments that go well with the stripes on the shirt. Nike created a “bespoke” design for Sunderland’s 22–23 home uniform rather than using a standard template.
