Club History
From the fusion between the ‘Sezione calcio della Polisportiva Libertas’ and the ‘Club Sportivo Firenze’, the current Associazione Calcio Fiorentina was born on the 26th of August 1926, where it adopted the white and red shirts. In the 1930-31 season the club made it to Serie A for the first time and this was the start of a glorious history, with some falls (such as the relegations of 1938 and 1993) but also with moments of glory, like the Scudetti won in 1956 and 1969, and the Cup Winners Cup of 1961. The recent history, tied to Vittorio Cecchi Gori, talks about great dreams, great champions like Battistuta, Toldo and Rui Costa, great projects, like the ones built with Trapattoni, but also of great disappointments through bankruptcy and mistakes which the fans ended up paying for. The re-start from Serie C and the re-foundation under the wing of Della Valle and the climb which ended with the play-off against Perugia rewarded a club which cannot renounce to ambition. In football, fame matters, and not only in political institutes; fame can bring to the stadium 30,000 people for a Serie C match. And these are facts not just words.
