AFC Bournemouth (/ˈbɔːrnməθ/ (ⓘ) BORN-məth) is a professional association football club based in Kings Park, Boscombe, a suburb of Bournemouth, Dorset, England. The club competes in the Premier League, the highest division of English club football. Formed in 1899 as Boscombe, the club adopted their current name in 1971. Nicknamed "The Cherries", Bournemouth have played their home games at Dean Court since 1910. Their home colours are red-and-black striped shirts, with black shorts and socks, inspired by that of Italian club AC Milan.
The AFC is part of the name and not an abbreviation. The name was changed by Dickie Dowsett who was the club's commercial manager and an ex-player. He insisted that the AFC should not stand for anything because that way, the club would appear in alphabetical league lists above Arsenal and Aston Villa and is why the club is the first in the list of clubs on the Premier League and Premier Skills English websites.
The AFC recalls the older name of the club, it represents Athletic Football Club, but it does not stand for Athletic Football Club.
Each of the 20 teams in the Premier League are clubs – from Manchester United Football Club to Athletic Football Club Bournemouth (AFC Bournemouth).
