Chelsea vs Ipswich Town History

Although Chelsea have celebrated more silverware, particularly in the 21st century, Ipswich Town is actually the older of these two clubs. ITFC was founded in 1878, some 27 years before the formation of Chelsea FC.

Neither of these teams enjoyed any trophy success until 1955 when Chelsea become First Division champions for the first time. Ipswich would match this feat seven years later, clinching league honours in what was the club’s first-ever season competing in the top flight.

Ipswich Town later became FA Cup winners by beating Arsenal, 1-0, in the 1978 FA Cup final. This came eight years after Chelsea had also claimed a maiden FA Cup triumph. Ipswich celebrated its first European success in 1981, thanks to a narrow victory over Dutch outfit AZ Alkmaar in the final of the UEFA Cup (precursor to the Europa League).

Chelsea would add only a few more trophies to the mantelpiece prior to the 2003 takeover by Roman Abramovich. This era was characterised by plenty of success, with no fewer than five Premier League, five FA Cups, and a number of European titles during the 19-year reign of the Russian oligarch.

The post-Abramovich era, led by Todd Boehly and the Clearlake Capital consortium, has so far been a turbulent period for Chelsea FC. Meanwhile, Ipswich Town sealed back-to-back promotions to rise from League One up into the Premier League in 2024.
