About ACF Fiorentina

ACF Fiorentina is a professional football club based in Florence, Italy, founded in 1926 through the merger of two local teams. The club quickly established itself in Italian football and is known for its distinctive purple colours and the nickname “La Viola.” Fiorentina has traditionally played in Serie A for most of its history and is considered one of the most important clubs outside Italy’s biggest northern cities.

The club has achieved notable domestic and international success. Fiorentina has won two Serie A titles, several Coppa Italia trophies, and a Supercoppa Italiana. On the European stage, it became the first Italian team to win a UEFA-organised competition by claiming the Cup Winners’ Cup in 1961, and it has also reached multiple European finals over the years.

Fiorentina has experienced both success and serious difficulties, including financial collapse in 2002 that led to bankruptcy and re-founding. Despite this setback, the club quickly returned to the top levels of Italian football and re-established itself in Serie A. Today, Fiorentina remains a respected team with a strong fan base, a rich history, and regular competition in domestic and European tournaments.
