Chelsea F.C.

, Professional Soccer

The Chelsea Football Club has long been one of the best in all of professional soccer, and considering the teams from England, that is quite an honor. In fact, Chelsea was the first English club to win all three major UEFA trophies. Established in 1905, Chelsea is the reigning English Premier League champions, and have come a long way since winning their first English League title back in 1955.

Since 1997, the Chelsea Football Club has won over 20 trophies, and their fan base is one of the best in professional soccer. They rank in the top 10 all-time in average attendance, and their fan base is located all over the world. Owned by Roman Abramovich, this club is worth over $1 billion, and there is nothing quite like their rivalry matches against the likes of Arsenal or Tottenham Hotspur.

In the last 100 or so years, Chelsea has seen their fair share of great players don their uniform. The all-time leading goal scorer for the club is Frank Lampard, with Ron Harris having appeared in the most matches. Fans of Chelsea hate Liverpool, Arsenal, and Manchester United, and it will be up to Eden Hazard to lead the club into its next era of dominance.

He certainly has the talent to do just that, and as has always been the case with this club, they will be winning a lot more than they lose.
