Brighton & Hove Albion Football Club which is commonly known as Brighton is an English professional football team based in Brighton as well as Hove. They play in the Premier League, the top level in the English football league system. The home stadium of the club is the 31,800 capacity Falmer Stadium located in Falmer in the north east in the town.
Established in 1901 and dubbed"the "Seagulls" as well as "Albion", Brighton played their first professional game with the Southern League, before being admitted to the Football League in 1920. Prior to their current, ongoing period within the Premier League, the club was most prominent from 1979 to 1983 as they were within the First Division and reached the 1983 FA Cup Final, losing to Manchester United after a replay. They were then relegated to into the First Division in the same season.
In the latter part of 1990, Brighton were in the fourth class in English football and was facing financial problems. After narrowly avoiding the relegation of the Football League to the Conference in 1997, a takeover in the boardroom prevented the club from going into liquidation. The subsequent advancements in 2002 and 2001 saw Brighton into the 2nd tier and in the year 2011, Brighton relocated to Falmer Stadium after 14 years without a permanent home. In the season 2016-17, Brighton finished second in the EFL Championship and were thus moved into the Premier League, ending a 34-year absence from the top division.
