Queens Park Rangers FC

Queens Park Rangers is an English professional football club based in Shepherd’s Bush, Hammersmith and Fulham, London. Also known by their nicknames, QPR, Rangers, or The Hoops, Queens Park Rangers was founded in 1882, and named such because at the time, most of its players came from Queen’s Park in Northwest London. QPR’s home stadium is Loftus Road, which seats around 18,000 fans. Queens Park Rangers have won the Football League Cup (aka Carling Cup) once in 1966/7, and have been winners of the old Division Two (1982/3) and Division Three (1966/7). In addition, QPR have been runners up for the FA Cup (1982) and the Football Division One (1975/6)
