Fiorentina Colors, Facts and History

Fiorentina history

A merger in August 1926 created the original club, and after a bankruptcy the current one was refounded in August 2002. Fiorentina has spent most of its life in the top division, and just four clubs have more Serie A seasons. League titles came in 1955-56 and 1968-69, plus one Supercoppa Italiana and six Coppa Italia wins.

Europe has brought both glory and heartbreak. Fiorentina won the Cup Winners' Cup in 1960-61, then lost five finals: the 1956-57 European Cup (the first Italian side to reach that final), the 1989-90 UEFA Cup, the 1961-62 Cup Winners' Cup and back-to-back Conference League finals in 2022-23 and 2023-24. No club had ever reached two straight finals of that competition and lost both. Reaching the 2023 Conference League final also made Fiorentina the first team to play in the finals of all four major European club competitions, not counting the one-game Super Cup.
