Coventry City Football Club, known as the Sky Blues, is a historic English club competing in the EFL Championship. Their home is the Coventry Building Society Arena, which they share with rugby union's Wasps. The club was founded in 1883 and wears the distinctive sky blue kit from which their nickname derives. Owned by Doug King, the team is managed by Mark Robins, who has overseen a remarkable period of revival. Coventry's story is one of dramatic highs and prolonged struggles. The club's golden era culminated in 1987 when they famously won the FA Cup, defeating Tottenham Hotspur 3-2 in a Wembley final for the ages, with players like Keith Houchen and Cyrille Regis etching their names in history. They enjoyed a long unbroken spell in the top flight from 1967 to 2001. After falling into the lower leagues and even suffering relegation to League Two, the club has been resurrected under Robins, achieving promotion and establishing themselves as a competitive Championship side capable of reaching the playoff final, as they did in 2023. The fan base remains fiercely loyal, having endured a period of playing home games outside the city, and now revels in a team that plays attractive, attacking football.
