Watford Football Club is a professional association football club based in Watford, Hertfordshire, England, and it competes in the EFL Championship, the second tier of English football. After several early grounds, including what is now West Herts Sports Club, the team moved to Vicarage Road in 1922 and has a long-standing rivalry with nearby Luton Town. Under manager Graham Taylor from 1977 to 1987 the club rose from the fourth tier to the first, finished second in the First Division in 1982-83, played in the UEFA Cup in 1983-84 and reached the 1984 FA Cup final. After a decline, Taylor returned and led successive promotions to the Premier League for the 1999-2000 season. Later spells in the top flight came in 2006-07 and from 2015 to 2020, including a second FA Cup final in 2019, and the club was promoted again in April 2021 before relegation in May 2022.
