Parma Italian Cup Tickets

Parma Calcio 1913 have a storied history with the Coppa Italia competition, although their recent troubles have seen the side become real outsiders in recent editions. Nonetheless, that has not stopped fans from passionately supporting their side when they participate in the domestic cup tournament. Indeed, the 22,359 capacity Stadio Ennio Tardini becomes a brilliant venue to witness some great football.

The club has numerous nicknames that they go by, with I Crociati, I Gialloblu, I Ducali and Gli Emiliani all having been commonly used over the years. Of course, with a club of their magnitude, they have had a number of top players turn out in their colours over the years in the Coppa Italia, with men such as Gianfranco Zola, Faustino Asprilla, Fabio Cannavaro, Gianluigi Buffon, Hernán Crespo, Lilian Thuram, Mark Bresciano and a plethora of other top names all make several appearances.

Parma Calcio 1913 have been rather successful when it comes to the Coppa Italia tournament, as they have been able to lay claim to three title wins over the years. Those victories came in the 1991/92, 1998/99 and 2001/02 editions of the competition.

Gli Emiliani have also been runners up in the tournament as well on a couple of occasions, as they had to settle for second-place finishes in 1994/95 and in the 2000/01 edition of the Coppa Italia.

Of course, their three title wins will stand out as memorable moments in the competition for the club, having beaten the likes of Juventus on two occasions, as well as AFC Fiorentina, which happened in the 1998/99 campaign.

The 1991/91 victory saw Parma Calcio 1913 come from behind as they won the second leg 2-0 following a 1-0 defeat in the first, whilst their victory for the second tournament saw them record a 3-3 draw but won via the away goals rule.

Their last final appearance may have been their best as they upset all the odds against the Old Lady again, with Hidetoshi Nakata’s last-minute goal in the first leg and Junior’s early effort in the second enough to see them over the live via away goals yet again (2-2 on aggregate).
