About Wigan Athletic Football Club
Wigan Athletic is a Championship football club based in Wigan, Greater Manchester, England. Founded in 1932, they are one of the newer teams in England compared to others. The Latics, as they are nicknamed, were elected to the Football League in 1978 and made their Premier League debut in 2005, where they remained until 2013.
The club’s crowning achievement was winning the FA Cup in 2012/13 with a 1–0 victory against Manchester City. They have also won League One and are two-time winners of the EFL Trophy. The Latics made their European debut in the 2013–14 UEFA Europa League.
Rivalries and Home Ground
Historically, Wigan’s main rivals have been nearby non-league Lancashire-based club Chorley. However, since joining the football league in 1978, Wigan developed several rivalries, including Bolton Wanderers, Manchester City, Preston North End, and Blackburn Rovers among many more. Their main rivalry with Bolton Wanderers is one of the more prominent derby matches since 2005 when both were in the Premier League.
Wigan Athletic’s home ground is at the DW Stadium. They have played there since 1999 and it can host up to 25,138 fans.
