West Ham home stadium
West Ham moved from Upton Park, which had been their home since 1904, into the London Stadium in 2016. The Stadium was built specifically for the 2012 Summer Olympics and Summer Paralympics but has since been rebuilt as the Hammers have called it their home.
West Ham’s first game at the London Stadium was against NK Domzale in the Europa League on 4 August 2016. Cheikhou Kouyate scored a brace in the first half against the Slovenian outfit before Sofiane Feghouli added a third in the 3-0 victory.
- First Ground: Upton Park
London Stadium’s capacity has been regulated to 62,500 for the Hammers, but it can seat up to 68,013 spectators.
