Honours and achievements[]

In 2012, Chelsea became the fifth English team to win the UEFA Champions League.

Chelsea's first ever silverware was obtained in the 1915–16 season, when the team won the inaugural London Combination, which was originally established as a regional league for London clubs after first-class competition had been suspended due to World War I. The first major trophy came in 1955, when Chelsea became the national champions.[2] In the 2009–10 season, Chelsea won their first and only double after winning both the Premier League and the FA Cup.[3] Upon winning the 2012–13 UEFA Europa League, Chelsea became the fourth club in history to have won the "European Treble" of European Cup/UEFA Champions League, European Cup Winners' Cup/UEFA Cup Winners' Cup, and UEFA Cup/UEFA Europa League.[4]
