Prince William supports the football team Aston Villa. He has been a fan since his school days and chose Villa because he wanted to support a team that was not mainstream like Manchester United or Chelsea, preferring a club that provided a more emotional experience with highs and lows. Aston Villa has a rich history, including winning the European Cup in 1982, the year Prince William was born, which added to his connection to the club. He has attended many Villa matches over the years and even brings his son, Prince George, to games to pass on his support. Prince William's affection for Aston Villa is well known and stands out since other royal family members support different clubs like his father, King Charles III, who supports Burnley, and his brother Prince Harry, who reportedly supports Arsenal. Besides his fandom, Prince William also plays a significant role in British football as president of the Football Association since 2006 and actively promotes grassroots football.
