Sheffield has two football clubs, Sheffield United and Sheffield Wednesday. Alternatively, why not get behind, Sheffield FC, officially the oldest football club in the world.

The tradition of Sheffield Wednesday and Sheffield United stretches back almost to the time when football began in this county. Both have illustrious histories and both have famous stadiums.

United's Bramall Lane stadium has hosted both international football and cricket matches and Hillsborough has staged many important games. If football is your thing then a visit to one of the stadiums is well worth it.
