The team compete in the Championship, the second tier of the English football league system. 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 A.C. Milan. Initially known as Boscombe, the club competed in regional football leagues before going up from the Hampshire League to the Southern League in 1920. Now known as Bournemouth & Boscombe Athletic, they were elected into the Football League in 1923. They remained in the Third Division South for 35 years, winning the Third Division South Cup in 1946. Placed in the newly reorganised Third Division in 1958, they suffered relegation in 1970, but would win an immediate promotion in 1970–71. Relegated back into the Fourth Division in 1975, Bournemouth were promoted again in 1981–82 and after lifting the Associate Members' Cup in 1984 would go on to win the Third Division title in 1986–87. They spent three seasons in the second tier but entered administration in 1997 and ended up back in the fourth tier with relegation in 2002, though immediately gained promotion by winning the play-offs in 2003. Bournemouth entered administration for a second time and were relegated back into League Two in 2008, but ended the year by appointing Eddie Howe as manager. Under Howe's stewardship, Bournemouth won three promotions in six years to win a place in the first tier of English football for the first time. This was achieved with a second-place finish in League Two in 2009–10, a second-place finish in League One in 2012–13 and a Championship title in 2014–15. The club remained in the Premier League for five seasons before suffering relegation in 2020. Mark Travers Mark Travers (born 18 May 1999) is an Irish professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for EFL Championship club AFC Bournemouth. He has represented the Republic of Ireland at youth international level up until under-21 level as well as the Republic of Ireland senior team, earning his first cap in September 2019. Travers signed for English club AFC Bournemouth in July 2016, aged 17. He joined Weymouth on loan in August 2017, scoring on his debut. The loan ended in January 2018. He made his debut for Bournemouth on 4 May 2019 in a 1–0 win over Tottenham Hotspur. Upon doing so, he became the first teenage goalkeeper since Joe Hart in 2006 to start a Premier League match, and made a number of saves to help the club record its first ever victory over Tottenham, with Travers keeping a clean sheet and receiving Man of the Match for his performance. He was later selected by BBC pundit Garth Crooks in his 'Team of the Week'. He moved on loan to Swindon Town in January 2021. He was recalled by Bournemouth on 11 February 2021, having made 8 appearances. Following the departure of Asmir Begović, Travers began the 2021–22 season as Bournemouth's first choice goalkeeper, beginning with a 2–2 draw with West Brom on the opening day of the campaign. Travers started all but one of the Cherries' opening 14 games, an unbeaten run which included a club record-setting 6 away games in a row without conceding a goal. For his performances in September 2021, Travers was nominated for the club's player of the month award, losing out to Gary Cahill.
