Hull City AFC

Our Club

Hull City Association Football Club was founded in 1904 in the city of Hull in the Yorkshire region of England. Because of its amber-and-black colours and the tiger on its crest, the club is known to its supporters as “The Tigers”.

The club has competed in the Premier League, the highest level of English football, and reached the FA Cup final in 2014, one of the greatest achievements in its history. This also earned the club the right to represent England in the UEFA Europa League.

Hull City AFC play their home matches at the 25,400-capacity MKM Stadium (formerly the KCOM Stadium). The club is known for the importance it places on youth development and has produced players for the England national team.

Since 2022 the club has been owned by Turkish businessman Acun Ilıcalı, forging a strong bond with Türkiye and pursuing a vision of investing in Turkish football and bringing young talent into European football. Hull City Academy Türkiye is a product of that vision.
