Portsmouth Football Club is an English football club based in the city of Portsmouth. The club is nicknamed Pompey, sometimes called 'The Blues', with their fans known as 'The Blue Army'. They play in the Premier League. They have played their home matches at Fratton Park since 1898. Ownership of the club is currently being transferred to the UAE multi billionaire Sulaiman al-Fahim. On 27th May 2009, ArabianBusiness.com reported that Sulaiman Al-Fahim has signed a deal to take over the club. Portsmouth have won the FA Cup twice, most recently in 2008. Pompey's rivals are Southampton. The club was founded in the back garden on 5 April 1898 at 12 High Street, Old Portsmouth, with John Brickwood, owner of the local Brickwoods Brewery as chairman, and Frank Brettell as the club's first manager. The club joined the Southern League in 1899 and their first league match was played at Chatham Town on 2 September 1899 (a 1-0 victory), followed three days later by the first match at Fratton Park, a friendly against local rivals Southampton, which was won 2 0, with goals from Dan Cunliffe (formerly with Liverpool) and Harold Clarke (formerly with Everton).
