Charlton was established in June 1905, when a number of small clubs from the southeast London area merged to create one team. In the 1930s the club reached the First Division, finishing as a runner-up in 1937 and third in 1939. Before the Second World War Charlton was the most consistent side in the top tier of English football.
The club won its first major trophy in 1947 when in the final of the FA Cup the team defeated Burnley 1–0.
In the 1950s Charlton was dropped in a class and for two decades remained in the Second Division, later sliding to the Third one. In 1984 the team endured financial problems and went into administration and was reformed as Charlton Athletic Ltd. It was not until the late 1990s and early 2000s that the team returned to the Premier League, finishing 7th in the table which was the best place of the team since the 1950s.
The official colors of the team are white and red.
The home arena is the Valley and its capacity is 27,111. The nicknames of the team are the Red Robins, the Addicks, and the Valiants.
