⚽ History: From Woolwich to North London
Founded in 1886 by workers at the Royal Arsenal armaments factory in Woolwich, the club was originally named Dial Square. Due to its deep roots tied to the military industry, the club adopted the famous nickname "The Gunners." In 1913, the team relocated to North London, settling at the legendary Highbury Stadium, its home for nearly a century before moving to its current location.
The Crest: The Iconic Cannon
The Arsenal crest has evolved significantly throughout the years. The current design, adopted in 2002, is a modern and streamlined version.
