Monza history

Monza FBC was founded in 1912 and spent most of its history below Serie A, coming close to promotion several times in the 1970s. For years it held an unwanted Italian record: 40 seasons in Serie B without ever going up.

The early 21st century brought bankruptcy twice, in 2004 and 2015. After Silvio Berlusconi bought the club in 2018, Monza returned to Serie B in 2020 after 19 years away, then went up to Serie A for the first time in 2022. The current top-flight spell follows another promotion from Serie B in 2025-26. Lower-league honors are plentiful, with four Coppa Italia Serie C wins (a record), four Serie C titles and an Anglo-Italian Cup. Blue and white were the original colors, but in 1932 the club switched to red and white, which explains the nickname i biancorossi. The main rivals are Como, Pro Sesto and Pisa.
