Arsenal Football Club, a historic North London team, was founded in 1886 by munitions workers and became the first southern club to join the Football League in 1893. They boast the longest active streak in England's top division and are the third-most successful club, having secured 13 league titles—famously completing an unbeaten season as "The Invincibles" in 2003–2004—and a record 14 FA Cups.

Visionary managers like Herbert Chapman established early success in the 1930s, introducing innovations like the WM formation, while Arsène Wenger, the club's longest-serving manager, led them to multiple trophies, including a record seven FA Cups. After moving from their iconic Highbury stadium in 1913 to the modern Emirates Stadium in 2006, Arsenal maintains a global presence, valued at US$3.4 billion, reflecting its rich history and enduring appeal.
