When did West Ham last win a trophy? Track record as club face Fiorentina in Europa Conference League final

The 2022/23 season has been a rollercoaster of ups and downs for David Moyes and West Ham United - the London club have gone from fighting and merely surviving Premier League relegation to walking away with a European major honour.

Italian Serie A giant Fiorentina awaited them in Prague as both clubs faced off for second-ever Europa Conference League title on Wednesday (7 June). Last season, Roma and former Chelsea and Spurs manager Jose Mourinho won the inaugural competition with a 1-0 win over Feyenoord in Albania.

This year's date in Croatia saw The Hammers redeem themselves after the team fell short in the Europa League last season, losing in the semi-final to the eventual winners Eintracht Frankfurt of the German Bundesliga.

Jarrod Bowen's last-minute strike guided West Ham to a 2-1 win over their European opposition, as fans celebrated the momentous feat. But it was not an amazing occasion for all, as Czech Police arrested at least 16 supporters after the build-up to the final was marred with violence.

West Ham United has one of the most devoted fanbases in the country - especially when it comes to how they defended the players' families amid conflict in the last game against AZ Alkmaar - but you'd be amiss to think that they have enjoyed many trophy-laden years.

When did The Hammers last win a trophy and how many major European finals have they been in? Here is everything you need to know.

When did West Ham United last win a trophy?

Before West Ham won the European Conference League title on 7 June 2023, it had been nearly four decades since West Ham last enjoyed a trophy triumph - which means the London club had gone through relegations, final heartaches, emotional stadium moves and much more since a Hammer had last tasted gold.

Their last major honour before Prague was the 1979/1980 FA Cup when they edged out local rivals Arsenal 1-0 in the final at Wembley Stadium. The only goal of the game was scored by Trevor Brooking, who made over 600 appearances for West Ham between 1966 and 1984.

It marked the club's third FA Cup triumph in history following previous wins in 1963/1964 and 1974/1975.

When was West Ham United's last major final?

West Ham's last appearance at a cup final before Fiorentina dates back to 2006 when they suffered an agonising FA Cup defeat to Liverpool. They had led 3-2 going into the latter stages of the game before Steven Gerrard netted a heartbreaking last-minute equaliser before the Reds converted three of four spot kicks to win penalties 3-1.

Have West Ham United ever won a European trophy?

The Hammers's UEFA Cup Winners' Cup in 1964/1965 was their first ever European trophy after a 2-0 success over 1860 Munich. Goals from Alan Sealy brought West Ham their inaugural European triumph at Wembley.

In what is not classed as a European major, West Ham then went on to wi the UEFA Intertoto Cup in 1999. They were crowned one of the three champions including Juventus and Montpellier.

But in 2023, they ended a multiple-decade duck and won the Europa Conference League after beating Fiorentina 2-1 in Prague.
