Villa Park is a football stadium in Aston, Birmingham, with a seating capacity of 43,205. It has been the home of Premier League club Aston Villa since 1897. The ground is less than a mile from both Witton and Aston railway stations and has hosted seventeen England internationals at senior level, the first in 1899 and the most recent in 2025. Villa Park has hosted 55 FA Cup semi-finals, more than any other stadium, and it is the 11th largest in England.
In 1897, Aston Villa moved into the Aston Lower Grounds, a sports ground in a Victorian amusement park in the former grounds of Aston Hall, a Jacobean stately home. The stadium has gone through various stages of renovation and development, resulting in the current stand configuration of the Holte End, Trinity Road Stand, North Stand and Doug Ellis Stand.
