Nerostellati Casale FBC
Italy · Founded: 1909
Casale Foot Ball Club is one of the historic pioneers of Italian football, founded in 1909 in Casale Monferrato, Piedmont. The club quickly became part of the early competitive football scene in Italy and played a key role during the formative years of national competitions. Known for its black kit with a white star, Casale earned the nickname “Nerostellati.”
The club’s greatest achievement came in the 1913–14 season, when it won the Italian championship, becoming one of the early national champions of the country. During that era, Casale was able to compete with the strongest teams of the time and even achieved notable international recognition, including a famous victory over an English professional side in 1913.
After World War I, Casale gradually lost its top-level status as professional football in Italy developed and larger clubs became dominant. The team eventually dropped out of Serie A in the 1930s and spent most of its later history in lower divisions, with several financial restructurings and refoundations. Today, it is mainly remembered for its historic role and its early championship success in Italian football history.
