Leicester City

Leicester City FC plays at the King Power Stadium, located in the Filbert Way area of Leicester, the East Midlands city that became the most improbable Premier League champion in history. With a capacity of 32,312 spectators, the King Power Stadium opened in 2002, replacing Filbert Street which had served the club since 1891. The stadium — named after King Power International, the Thai duty-free retail company whose owner Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha purchased the club in 2010 — has been the setting for the most extraordinary story in football's modern history. Its Thai-influenced commercial identity reflects the transformation that Asian investment brought to a historically unremarkable English provincial club.

The King Power Stadium was the epicentre of arguably the greatest sporting achievement in football history when Leicester City won the Premier League title in 2015–16 at odds of 5,000-1. The moments when the title was confirmed — first via Chelsea's draw with Tottenham while Jamie Vardy watched at home, then the celebrations at the King Power Stadium — generated worldwide attention and made Leicester City a household name across every football-following country on earth. Manager Claudio Ranieri, Jamie Vardy, Riyad Mahrez, N'Golo Kanté, and Kasper Schmeichel became globally celebrated names, and the King Power Stadium became a place of football pilgrimage from around the world.

The tragic death of Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha in a helicopter crash outside the stadium in October 2018 devastated the Leicester community and generated an extraordinary outpouring of grief from across world football. A permanent memorial outside the King Power Stadium honours his memory and contribution to the club and city. Under his son Aiyawatt, the club continued to achieve — winning the FA Cup in 2021 — before financial difficulties led to relegation. Leicester's Championship experience and the Club's subsequent promotion back to the Premier League in 2024 demonstrate the resilience of a club that has known both extraordinary triumph and genuine difficulty at the King Power Stadium.
