Newcastle United

Newcastle United were founded in 1892 and play their home games at St James' Park in England.

Tracing its roots back to 1892, Newcastle United is a football institution nestled within St James' Park in England. The hallowed turf of St James' Park serves as a battleground for the club's home fixtures.

The squad at Newcastle United, as referenced by Transfermarkt, has an estimated market value in the ballpark of £592m. The Toon Army, as the fan base is fondly known, has come to hope that this significant value will translate into on-pitch success.

Boasting a team of 32, the average age across the Magpies' roster stands at 25, a decent harmony of experience and youthful vigour. This is a determinant of the vision for a future embedded in youth development, bringing a steady stream of talent through the ranks.

Thus far in the season, the black and white stripes have made their mark in 4 separate competitions. Premier League action currently finds them in a midfield position, at 13th place. Meanwhile, their run in the FA Cup was abruptly halted in the third round. Elsewhere, the League Cup journey was a bit more successful, seeing them reach the semi-finals. In the Champions League, they are still in the mix, participating in the League Phase.
