Portsmouth FC Triumphs: Promoted to Championship After Decade
April 17, 2024
Portsmouth FC earned promotion to the Championship after a 3-2 comeback win against Barnsley.
The victory marks Portsmouth's return to the second tier for the first time in over a decade, since 2012.
Portsmouth's triumph also secured them the League One title.
Head coach John Mousinho led the team to success, a notable turnaround following past financial issues and relegations.
The club completed their promotion campaign with an eight-point lead.
Standout players Conor Shaughnessy and Abu Kamara have been instrumental, with Kamara's future at the club in question amid interest from Norwich City.
Portsmouth's promotion sets the stage for a potential same-division rivalry with Southampton for the first time in over ten years, as Southampton pursues automatic promotion.
