History
Leicester City were founded in 1884 as Leicester Fosse F.C, playing on a field near Fosse Road. They moved to Filbert Street in 1891, were elected to the Football League in 1894 and adopted the name Leicester City in 1919. They moved to the nearby Walkers Stadium in 2002, which was renamed as the King Power Stadium in 2011.
Leicester City's most successful period came in the 2015-16 season, when they won the Premier League title. This was a major upset, as Leicester were the 5000-1 outsiders to win the title at the start of the season. The team was managed by Claudio Ranieri and featured players such as Jamie Vardy, Riyad Mahrez and N'Golo Kanté.
Leicester City have also won the FA Cup once, in 2021, and the League Cup twice, in 1964 and 1997.
