Norwich City Football Club is a professional football team. It is based in Norwich, England. The club plays in the Championship. This is the second-highest league in English football.
The club started in 1902. Since 1935, Norwich has played its home games at Carrow Road. They have a big rivalry with Ipswich Town. This rivalry is called the East Anglian derby.
Norwich has won the League Cup twice. They won in 1962 and 1985. Their best league finish ever was third place in the 1992–93 season. They even played in the UEFA Cup once in 1993–94. During that time, they were the first English club to beat German team Bayern Munich at their home stadium, the Olympiastadion.
The team is called The Canaries. This is because people in the area used to breed these birds. A canary is on the team's badge. Their home kit is traditionally yellow and green. The fans' song "On The Ball, City" is the oldest football chant in the world. It was written in the 1890s and is still sung today.

Club History
How Norwich City Began (1902–1934)
Norwich City F.C. started on June 17, 1902. Their first game was against Harwich & Parkeston. It happened on September 6, 1902, at Newmarket Road.
The club joined the Norfolk & Suffolk League for the 1902–03 season. In 1905, the FA said the club was professional. So, they were not allowed to play as amateurs anymore. Later that year, Norwich joined the Southern League.
More and more fans came to watch. Because of this, they had to leave Newmarket Road in 1908. They moved to The Nest, an old chalk pit. The club's first nickname was the Citizens. But by 1907, they were called the Canaries. This was because the chairman bred canaries. He changed their uniform to yellow and green.
During World War I, football stopped. The club had many debts. So, it closed down on December 10, 1917.
The club officially started again on February 15, 1919. Charles Frederick Watling helped a lot. He later became the mayor of Norwich. When the Football League created a Third Division in May 1920, Norwich joined it. Their first league game was a 1–1 draw against Plymouth Argyle. This was on August 28, 1920.
The next ten years were not great for the club. But the decade after that was better. They won a game 10–2 against Coventry City. This was a club record. Norwich was promoted to the Second Division in the 1933–34 season. This happened under manager Tom Parker.
Moving to Carrow Road (1934–1959)
As more fans came, the Football Association worried about The Nest. The club thought about fixing it up. But they decided to move to Carrow Road. The first game there was on August 31, 1935. Norwich won 4–3 against West Ham United. A record 29,779 fans watched.
A big moment was when King George VI visited Carrow Road. This was on October 29, 1938. But the club was moved down to the Third Division that season.
The league stopped because of World War II. It started again in the 1946–47 season. Norwich finished low in the league for two seasons. They had to ask to stay in the league. Manager Norman Low almost got them promoted in the early 1950s. But then Tom Parker came back as manager. Norwich finished last in the league in the 1956–57 season.
The club faced big money problems. They owed over £20,000. A new board, led by Geoffrey Watling, saved the club. They started a fund that raised over £20,000. Both Watling and Arthur South (the mayor) have stands at Carrow Road named after them.
Archie Macaulay became manager when the club was saved. He led them to a great achievement. They reached the semi-final of the 1958–59 FA Cup. Norwich was a Third Division team. But they beat two First Division teams. They famously won 3–0 against Manchester United. Norwich lost the semi-final after a replay against Luton Town.
The "59 Cup Run" is still famous today. It was one of Norwich City's greatest times. Norwich was only the third Third Division team to reach the FA Cup semi-final.
Winning the League Cup (1959–1980)
In the 1959–60 season, Norwich was promoted to the Second Division. They finished second behind Southampton. In 1962, Ron Ashman led Norwich to their first trophy. They beat Rochdale 4–0 to win the League Cup.
Norwich finished sixth in the league in the 1960s. This was their closest to getting promoted to the First Division. But in the 1971–72 season, they won the division. Under manager Ron Saunders, Norwich City reached the highest level of English football for the first time. They played at Wembley Stadium in 1973. They lost the League Cup final 1–0 to Tottenham Hotspur.
They were moved down to the Second Division in the 1973–74 season. Saunders had left, and John Bond took over. The club kept Bond as manager. They were quickly rewarded. A very good season saw them promoted back to the First Division. They also went to Wembley again for the League Cup final. This time, they lost 1–0 to Aston Villa.
More Trophies and Cup Runs (1980–1992)
Bond left for Manchester City in 1980. Six months later, the club was moved down a league. But they came back up the next season. They finished third under Bond's replacement, Ken Brown. In August 1981, Norwich City player Justin Fashanu became the first black footballer to be sold for £1 million. He moved to Nottingham Forest.
The 1984–85 season was mixed for the club. Under Brown, they reached the final of the Football League Cup. They beat Ipswich Town in the semi-final. In the final, they beat Sunderland 1–0. But in the league, both Norwich and Sunderland were moved down to the second tier. Norwich went down by only one point. This made Norwich the first English club to win a major trophy and be moved down in the same season.
Norwich was also not allowed to play in Europe. This was because English clubs were banned after the Heysel Stadium disaster. City bounced back to the top league. They won the Second Division championship in the 1985–86 season. This started a club record of nine seasons in a row in the top division. Finishing high in the First Division in 1988–89 would have been enough for the UEFA Cup. But the ban on English clubs was still in place. They also had good runs in the FA Cup. They reached the semi-finals in 1989 and again in 1992.
Premier League Success (1992–1995)
In 1992–93, the first season of the Premier League, Norwich City was a surprise team. They looked like they might win the title. But they slowed down at the end. They finished third behind Manchester United and Aston Villa.
The next season, Norwich played in the UEFA Cup for the first time. They lost to Inter Milan in the third round. But they beat Bayern Munich. Winning 2–1, Norwich was the first British team to beat Bayern Munich at the Olympiastadion.
Mike Walker left as Norwich City manager in January 1994. He went to manage Everton. John Deehan, the first team coach, took over. He led the club to 12th place in the 1993–94 Premier League season.
Norwich started the 1994–95 season well. Even though their top scorer Chris Sutton left for a record £5 million. By Christmas, they were seventh in the league. But then Norwich won only one of their last 20 league games. They dropped to 20th place and were moved down. This ended their nine-season run in the top league.
The First Division Years (1995–2003)
Just before being moved down, Deehan quit as manager. His assistant Gary Megson took over for the rest of the season. Martin O'Neill became Norwich City manager in summer 1995. He had led Wycombe Wanderers to two promotions. But he only stayed six months. He left after a disagreement with chairman Robert Chase about money for new players. Soon after, Chase also left. Fans had complained that he sold the best players and caused the team to be moved down. Geoffrey Watling bought Chase's shares.
English TV cook Delia Smith and her husband Michael Wynn-Jones took over most of Norwich City's shares in 1996. Mike Walker was hired as manager again. But he couldn't repeat his earlier success. He was fired two seasons later. Norwich was in the middle of Division One.
Nigel Worthington became Norwich City manager in December 2000. This was after two unsuccessful years under Bruce Rioch and then Bryan Hamilton. Hamilton had resigned with the club near the bottom of the First Division. They were in danger of being moved down to the third tier for the first time since the 1960s. Worthington kept them from being moved down. The next season, he led City to a play-off final at the Millennium Stadium. Norwich lost to Birmingham City on penalties.
Back to the Premier League (2003–2009)
The 2003–04 season saw the club win the First Division title. They finished eight points ahead of West Bromwich Albion. They returned to the top league for the first time since 1995. For most of the 2004–05 season, the club struggled. A 6–0 loss to Fulham on the last day meant they were moved down again.
The club finished ninth in the Championship in the 2005–06 season. In the 2006–07 season, results were bad. Worthington was fired in October 2006, after a 4–1 loss to Burnley.
In October 2006, Norwich announced that former player Peter Grant was the new manager. Grant's team struggled for most of the season. They started the 2007–08 season poorly. They only had two wins by mid-October. After a 1–0 loss to Queens Park Rangers, Grant left the club. Later that month, former Newcastle United manager Glenn Roeder took over. Roeder kept Norwich in the Championship. They won 3–0 against Queens Park Rangers in their second-to-last game.
Recent Years: Up and Down (2009–present)
In January 2009, Roeder was fired. Soon after, former Norwich goalkeeper Bryan Gunn was hired until the end of the season. But he couldn't stop the club from being moved down in May 2009. This happened after a 4–2 loss to Charlton Athletic. After being moved down, their first game was a 7–1 home loss to Colchester United. This was the club's biggest home loss ever. Gunn was fired six days later.
On August 18, 2009, Paul Lambert became the new manager. He left his job at Colchester. Nine months later, he led Norwich to promotion back to the Championship. They won the League One title. The next season, Norwich was promoted to the Premier League. They finished second in the table. This was the first time a team went from the third tier to the second, and then to the first, since Manchester City in 2000.
The club finished 12th in their first season back in the Premier League. But Lambert left to manage Aston Villa. Chris Hughton replaced him. Hughton led Norwich to an 11th-place finish. This included a ten-game unbeaten run. But they were moved down to the Championship after the 2013–14 season. Hughton was fired. Former Norwich player Neil Adams replaced him.
The first half of the 2014–15 season was not great. Adams resigned in January 2015. Hamilton Academical manager Alex Neil was hired four days later. This made Norwich's season much better. They won the 2015 Championship play-off final. This meant they returned to the top league right away. But this was only for a short time. At the end of the next season, they were moved down again. They played the 2016–17 season in the Championship.
The next season started well. The club was at the top of the Championship in mid-October. But then they had a bad run of games. In March 2017, Neil was fired. First-team coach Alan Irvine took over for the rest of the season. They finished eighth.

In May 2017, German coach Daniel Farke became head coach. He was the first head coach not from the British Isles. In Farke's first season, Norwich finished 14th. The next season was much better. With top scorer Teemu Pukki helping, the club was promoted back to the Premier League. They won the Championship. But Norwich was moved down again after just one season in the top league. They became the first team in Premier League history to be moved down five times.
The "yo-yo effect" continued. In May 2021, Norwich won the Championship. They were promoted back to the top league right away. But they didn't win a match in their first nine games in the 2021–22 Premier League season. Farke was fired in November. On November 14, 2021, Dean Smith became the new head coach. Norwich was moved down from the Premier League for a record sixth time. After a mixed first half of the next season, Smith was fired in December 2022.
On January 6, 2023, David Wagner became the new head coach. Under Wagner, they finished 13th in the 2022-23 season. They improved to sixth place in 2023-24. This meant they qualified for the Championship playoffs. However, on May 17, 2024, Wagner was fired. This was after a 4–0 loss to Leeds United in the playoff semi-finals.
On May 30, 2024, Johannes Hoff Thorup became the new head coach. He joined from a Danish club and signed a three-year contract.
Team Colors and Badge
Norwich City's nickname, "The Canaries," has always influenced the team's colors and badge. The club was first called the "Citizens." They played in light blue and white shirts.
The first time the club was linked to canaries was in 1905. The manager, John Bowman, was quoted saying he had "heard of the canaries." This was the first time the popular hobby of raising canaries was linked to Norwich City FC. The club still played in blue and white for two more seasons.
By February 1907, the nickname Canaries was more popular. The next season, to match the nickname, City played in yellow and green for the first time. They wore "yellow shirts with green collars and cuffs." One newspaper said, "The Cits are dead but the Canaries are very much alive." The home colors of yellow and green are still used today. But the away colors have changed over time. For example, the away kit for the 2012–13 season was black shirts and shorts.
A simple canary badge was first used in 1922. The current club badge shows a canary on a football. It also has a design of the City of Norwich arms in the top left. For the club's 100th birthday in 2002, a special badge was made. It had two canaries and a ribbon for the centenary.
In November 2021, the club showed a new badge. It officially replaced the old one in June 2022. It started appearing on club shirts in the 2022–23 season. It's a modern version of the old badge. It removed black lines around the badge. It has a new design of the city's coat of arms. This new design looks more like a lion and Norwich Castle. The canary on the ball is also redesigned and more in the center.
Home Stadium
Norwich City played at Newmarket Road from 1902 to 1908. A record 10,366 fans watched a game there in 1908. After a problem with renting Newmarket Road, the club moved in 1908. Their new home was an old chalk pit called "The Nest".
By the 1930s, The Nest was too small for the growing crowds. So, in 1935, the club moved to its current home, Carrow Road. The first stadium was built very quickly. It was called "the largest construction job in the city since the building of Norwich Castle." It was "miraculously" built in just 82 days. Club officials called it 'The eighth wonder of the world'.
Floodlights were put up in 1956. But their cost of £9,000 almost made the club go bankrupt. The success in the 1959 FA Cup helped the club financially. This allowed a cover to be built over the South Stand. This was replaced in 2003 with a new 7,000-seat South stand. It was later renamed the Jarrold Stand.
In 1963, Carrow Road had its biggest crowd ever. 43,984 fans watched an FA Cup match against Leicester City. After a stadium disaster in 1971, safety rules changed. This greatly reduced the stadium's capacity to about 20,000. A new two-tier terrace was built. Seats began to replace the standing areas. By 1979, the stadium could hold 28,392 people, with 12,675 seats.
A fire in 1984 partly destroyed one of the stands. This led to it being completely taken down. A new City Stand was built by 1987. After the Hillsborough disaster in 1989 and a report in 1990, the stadium became all-seater. It now has a capacity of 27,150.
Supporters and Fans
Team Song
The fans' song, On the Ball, City, is the oldest football song still used today. The song is even older than the club itself. It was probably written for other local teams in the 1890s. It was then changed for Norwich City. The song was adopted by 1902. It is still sung today. The chorus is:
Kick it off, throw it in, have a little scrimmage,
Keep it low, a splendid rush, bravo, win or die;
On the ball City, never mind the danger,
Steady on, now's your chance,
Hurrah! We've scored a goal, City! clap-clap City! clap-clap City! clap-clap
Famous Fans
Many fans live in Norwich. But there are also fan clubs in other places. These include London, Scandinavia, the United Arab Emirates, and the United States. The London fan club is called the Capital Canaries. They meet to watch live games.
Some famous people support the club. TV cook Delia Smith and comedian Stephen Fry have even helped run the club. Actor Hugh Jackman is also a fan. His English mother took him to Carrow Road as a child. Other well-known supporters include TV presenter Simon Thomas. Musician Myleene Klass and author Philip Pullman are also fans.
In March 2018, fans helped the club raise £5 million. This was through a special investment plan. The money was used to build new academy facilities. These included new pitches, an irrigation system, cameras for analysis, and floodlights. A new main building with a gym, classrooms, and offices was also built.
Local Rivalry
The club's main rival is Ipswich Town. When Norwich and Ipswich play, it's called the East Anglian derby. It's also sometimes called the "Old Farm Derby." This is a funny reference to a famous Scottish derby. As of May 2024, Norwich has not lost to Ipswich since April 2009.
Locally, people talk a lot about the "Pride of Anglia" title. Fans claim this title for their team. They say it's for winning the derby, finishing higher in the league, or having a better club history.
Club Ownership
Norwich City F.C. is a public company. In 2003, about 8,000 people owned shares in it. As of October 2024, a group called Norfolk Holdings owns most of the club. This group is led by American businessman Mark Attanasio. He also owns the Milwaukee Brewers baseball team.
He took over from Delia Smith and her husband Michael Wynn-Jones. They had owned most of the club since 1998. In 2007, Smith and Wynn-Jones said they would sell their shares. But only if the new owner would invest a lot of money in the team.
In September 2022, Mark Attanasio joined the club's board of directors. He bought shares from many different owners. In April 2024, Attanasio's share in the club grew to 40.4%. This made him a joint majority shareholder with Smith and Wynn-Jones.
On August 12, 2024, the club announced a new deal. Attanasio would increase his share to 85%. He would take main control of the club. Smith and Wynn-Jones would step down from the board. They would become honorary life presidents. Their share in the club would become 10%. The deal was approved by other shareholders on October 23, 2024. This ended Smith and Wynn-Jones's 28 years with the club.

Norwich's record home attendance is 43,984. This was for an FA Cup match against Leicester City on March 30, 1963. After safety changes, the stadium's capacity was reduced. As of July 2020, it holds 27,359 people.
