Parma history
Parma Football Club was first founded in December 1913, though the current company only goes back to 2015. The team has used the Tardini for home matches since 1923.
Backed by Calisto Tanzi, Parma won eight trophies between 1992 and 2002, and in 1996-97 it finished second in Serie A, its best ever league placing. The full list of honors includes three Coppa Italia titles, two UEFA Cups, a Cup Winners' Cup, a European Super Cup and a Supercoppa Italiana. The good times ended in late 2003, when the Parmalat scandal brought down the parent company. The club ran under controlled administration until January 2007. Bankruptcy hit in 2015 and Parma had to restart in Serie D. What came next was remarkable: three promotions in a row, a record, which put the team back in the top flight by 2018.
