City Ground

The City Ground has been Nottingham Forest's historic and deeply cherished home since 1898, gracefully situated on the picturesque banks of the River Trent and steeped in the golden memories of the club's extraordinary European triumphs under legendary manager Brian Clough. With a capacity of 30,445, this venue holds an almost mystical place in football history, having witnessed Nottingham Forest's miraculous back-to-back European Cup victories in 1979 and 1980 that elevated a provincial English club to the pinnacle of world football. The stadium features traditional English football architecture with the atmospheric Trent End creating exceptional noise levels and passionate support that has echoed across the Trent for over a century, while the Main Stand, Bridgford End, and Executive Stand complete this intimate and characterful venue. Located strategically across the river from city rivals Notts County at Meadow Lane, the City Ground has been the stage for one of football's most geographically close derby matches and countless memorable encounters throughout its distinguished history. The venue represents Nottingham Forest's proud heritage, their remarkable European legacy, and their long-awaited return to Premier League football after 23 years in the wilderness, during which the stadium remained a symbol of hope and tradition for the club's loyal supporters who never forgot the glory days and always believed in their eventual return to the top flight of English football.
