The 2009 Upton Park riot occurred in and around West Ham United's Boleyn Ground, in Upton Park before, during and after a Football League Cup second round match between West Ham and Millwall on 25 August 2009. The match was won by the home side 3–1 after extra time, but the game was marred by pitch invasions and disorder in the streets outside the ground, where a Millwall supporter was stabbed. The disturbances were met with condemnation by the Football Association, the British government and the two clubs involved.

  • Upploppet vid Upton Park inträffade i och runt West Ham Uniteds Boleyn Ground, i Upton Park före, under och efter Engelska Ligacupens andra omgång mellan West Ham och Millwall den 25 augusti 2009. Matchen vanns av hemmalaget med 3–1 efter förlängning, men matchen förstördes av fans som sprang in på planen, samt oordning på gatorna utanför arenan, där en Millwallsupporter blev knivhuggen. Mer än 20 personer skadades. Oroligheterna möttes med fördömande av Fotbollförbundet, den brittiska regeringen och de två inblandade klubbarna. Händelsen ledde till rädsla för att återvända till den huliganism som hade plågat den engelska fotbollens rykte under 1970- och 80-talet. Det fanns också oro för att det kunde ha en negativ inverkan på Englands anbud att vara värd för Världsmästerskapet i fotboll (sv)
