Buckingham Football Club is an English football club based in London, England that competes in the Premier League, the top flight of English football. Popularly nicknamed The Royals or The Kingsmen, the club was founded in 2018 by Prince William, Duke of Hanover (formerly King William VI), whom prior to founding the club, was said to have had initial aspirations on securing the ownership of Manchester United from the Glazer family, which were ultimately unrealised. For the first three years, the club largely shared the Wembley Stadium with Liverpool, before later moving to a permanent stadium and training ground of their own, the Crown Arena stadium, which was officially opened in 2021. Meanwhile, it is the youngest Premier League club to date, having been founded just a few years prior.
Since joining the Premier League in 2018, the club so far has seen general success, notably in the 2019-2020 season, where after placing 8th the previous season, Buckingham finished the season at 2nd place behind Liverpool. Meanwhile, Buckingham has yet to win an international tournament, although they came close to doing so in the 2021–22 UEFA Europa League before being eliminated in the quarter finals.
