Hull City Football Club were formed in 1904. They are nicknamed the Tigers as they play in a black and amber striped kit. They are managed by Phil Brown. They play their home games at the KC Stadium (Kingston Communications Stadium) which has a capacity of 25,404.

Hull moved to their new stadium in December 2002 just weeks after appointing Peter Taylor as manager. The following year they were promoted to League One after finishing runners up. In 2005 they again finished runners up to claim back to back promotions.
