Leyton Orient FC is a professional football club based in Leyton, East London, currently competing in EFL League One. The club was founded in 1881 and plays at the Brisbane Road stadium, known for sponsorship reasons as the Gaughan Group Stadium. The O's, as they are affectionately known, wear red and white kits. One of London's oldest clubs, Orient's history includes a famous FA Cup semi-final appearance in 1978. Their most challenging period came in the 2010s with relegation to the National League, but their key modern era has been a story of redemption: under the ownership of Nigel Travis and the management of Richie Wellens, they won the National League in 2019 and then the EFL League Two title in 2023, playing vibrant, attacking football. Now an established League One side, they boast a passionate and growing fanbase. Leyton Orient is a club on a stable and exciting upward trajectory.
