Il Southampton Football Club, noto semplicemente come Southampton, è una società calcistica inglese con sede a Southampton, città dell'Hampshire. Milita attualmente nella Premier League, la massima divisione del campionato inglese di calcio.
Fondato nel 1885, il club è conosciuto anche con il soprannome The Saints dal momento che fu costituito come squadra di una parrocchia, la St. Mary's Church of England Young Men's Association, ed è attualmente di proprietà della Southampton Leisure Holdings Plc. Dal 2001 disputa le partite casalinghe al St. Mary's Stadium, impianto da 32.505 posti; in precedenza giocava al The Dell. Gioca in tenuta biancorossa ed è divisa dal Portsmouth da un'accesa rivalità.
Il club vanta la vittoria di una FA Cup, ottenuta nel 1975-1976 e un secondo posto in massima serie nel 1983-1984. Nel 2005 retrocesse in seconda serie dopo 27 stagioni consecutive in massima divisione. Nel 2012 il club è tornato in massima serie e vi gioca da allora.

Showing 0 to 26 (Total: 26)Stadium or HomeSt Mary's Stadium is a stadium in Southampton, England, which has been the home of an English Premier league club, Southampton F.C. since 2001. The stadium has a capacity of 32,505 and is currently the largest football stadium in the South of England (excluding London).
Since the 1980s, when Southampton regularly challenged the best sides in the English league (particularly in 1984 when they were league runners-up), there had been talk of the club relocating to a new stadium to replace The Dell due to the old stadium's cramped location which made it unsuitable for major expansion work.
When the Taylor Report on 29 January 1990 required all First and Second Division clubs to have all-seater stadiums by August 1994, Southampton's directors initially decided to upgrade The Dell into an all-seater stadium (which was completed in 1993) but speculation about relocation continued, especially as an all-seater Dell had a capacity of just over 15,000; despite this, Southampton continued to defy the odds and survive in the new FA Premier League after 1992.
After a lengthy and ultimately unsuccessful attempt to build a new 25,000 seater stadium and leisure complex at Stoneham, on the outskirts of Southampton, the city council offered the club the chance to build a new ground on the disused gas work site in the heart of the city, about one and half miles from The Dell.
The move was cited as the club returning home, because the club was formed by members of the nearby St. Mary's Church, as the football team of St. Mary's Church Young Men's Association before becoming Southampton St. Mary's F.C., and eventually Southampton F.C.
Construction started in December 1999 and was completed at the end of July 2001, with work on the stadium itself and improvements to local infrastructure cost a total of £32 million.
The Saints have been in residence since August 2001 when they moved from The Dell, which for the final years of its life, held just over 15,000 spectators – less than half the size of the new stadium. The first match was played on 1 August 2001 against RCD Espanyol, with the Spanish side winning 4–3.
The first competitive hat trick at the stadium was scored by Stafford Browne for Aldershot Town in a 3–1 victory over Havant & Waterlooville in the Hampshire Senior Cup final on 1 May 2002.
