Leicester City Football Club, (also known as The Foxes) is an English professional football club based in the city of Leicester. They currently play in the Football League Championship, the second tier of English football. Leicester's highest ever finish was second in the old Division One in 1928-29, and despite getting into the FA Cup final four times, they have never won the cup. They have however won the League Cup three times and the Second Division title six times before it became known as the Football League Championship.
Leicester were founded in 1884 as Leicester Fosse, before relocating to the nearby Walkers Stadium in 2002.

History
The club's home colours of royal blue shirt with white shorts were first used in the 1910s [4] and have been used every season since the mid 1940s, bar one [5]. In the 1972-73 season, the home shirt was changed to white, apparently inspired by Leeds United's success. This change was unpopular, and dropped at the end of the season. The first commercial logo to appear on a Leicester kit was that of Admiral Sportsware, the kit designers, in 1976. The first sponsorship logo to appear on a Leicester shirt was that of Ind Coope in 1983. Walkers Crisps held a long association with the club, sponsoring them from 1987 to 2001. The club have recently signed a sponsorship deal with Topps Tiles, who replace Alliance & Leicester, and the JJB Sports kit deal has been replaced by a deal with JAKO. The new kit features a 3-way crest around the club logo.
An image of a fox was first incorporated into the club crest in 1948, as Leicestershire is known for foxes and fox hunting. It was played over the PA system as the teams came out of the tunnel at all home games. However, perhaps unwisely, the club has replaced it in the past few seasons with a jazzed-up modern version, with the apparent idea that this would appeal to younger fans. This was not a popular decision, but still it remains as the Club's opening music of choice.

Stadia
Being based in the East Midlands, there are many teams that Leicester can play local matches against (known colloquially as "derbies"). Most regularly, these are against Derby County and Nottingham Forest, teams who Leicester have shared Leagues with for many recent seasons. Other teams in the East Midlands are Notts County, Northampton Town, Mansfield Town, Lincoln City, Boston United and Chesterfield, although due to not being in the same League, matches against these clubs have been limited to Cup games in recent years.

      Leicester are second behind Sunderland for having won the most Division Two titles since the end of World War II. The club has also been promoted and relegated between the top two divisions more than any other team; 11 times in both directions.
      Leicester have lost four FA Cup finals. This is the most lost finals without winning the trophy.
      Although the club itself hasn't set too many records it is part of an exclusive club of nine teams never to have played outside the top two tiers of English football. The others are Arsenal, Chelsea, Everton, Liverpool, Manchester United, Newcastle United, Tottenham Hotspur and West Ham.
