About FC Vado

FC Vado is an Italian football club based in Vado Ligure, in the Liguria region, founded in 1913. It is one of the historic clubs of early Italian football and traditionally plays in red and blue colours. The team currently competes in the lower tiers of the Italian league system and plays its home matches at the Stadio Ferruccio Chittolina.

The club is best known for a unique achievement in Italian football history: it won the first-ever Coppa Italia in 1922. In the final, Vado defeated Udinese 1–0, securing the only major trophy in its history. This victory remains a remarkable milestone, as the club is still recognized as the inaugural winner of Italy’s main domestic cup competition.

After its early success, Vado spent most of its history outside the top divisions, moving between regional and lower national leagues. It faced periods of financial difficulty, interruptions during World War II, and later reorganization, but continued to exist and compete. Today, the club is mainly remembered for its historic cup triumph and its role in the early development of Italian football.
