ACF Fiorentina History

The club was initially founded in 1926, with the name Associazione Calcio Fiorentina. Known for their distinctive purple colours, the Florence-based team won a maiden Serie A title in 1956 and then captured a second Scudetto in the 1968/69 season. Fiorentina have also won the Coppa Italia at least six times, though La Viola went more than 20 years without lifting this trophy following victory in 2001.

The club claimed European honours for the first time in 1961, thanks to a 4-1 aggregate win over Rangers in the final of the European Cup Winners' Cup. Fiorentina returned to the final the following season but lost to Atletico Madrid, 3-0.

Fiorentina faced financial troubles in the early 2000s, to the point that the club had to be re-established under a new name and ownership. La Viola were subsequently placed in the fourth tier of the Italian football pyramid. This was a particularly tough time for the team's supporters, coming only a few years after Fiorentina had been challenging towards the top of the Serie A.

In more recent times, Fiorentina reached the UEFA Conference League final in back-to-back seasons. After narrowly missing out to West Ham United in the 2023 final, La Viola returned to the stage 12 months later in Athens.

Supporters of Fiorentina are considered among the most loyal football fans, and this is evident from the atmosphere created at the Stadio Artemio Franchi. Fans looking to attend a football match in Florence can find a wide range of Fiorentina tickets right here at SeatPick.

ACF Fiorentina Rivalries

Most rivalries between football clubs are products of intercity dynamics or political differences. In the case of ACF Fiorentina and Juventus F.C, local patriotism and allegations of thievery fuel the rivalry. Supporters of La Viola believe they were done wrong in the 1981–82 season when, according to them, Juventus stole the title. The teams are arch enemies and fans have zero tolerance for players willing to swap the purple jersey for the black and white stripes of Turin. 

Although Juventus historically has the better record versus Fiorentina, every match against the Old Lady is an opportunity for La Viola to take revenge for the injustice they have suffered at the hands of the 'Turin thieves'.

Unsurprisingly, it’s hard to find an empty seat at Stadio Artemio Franchi when Juventus are the visiting team. Juventus Tickets are also highly sought-after when La Viola visit the Juventus Stadium in Turin.

Fiorentina Famous Footballers

Fiorentina has a reputation as a popular Italian and international football club. However, it's not one of the wealthiest teams and even filed for bankruptcy in 2002. They were immediately refounded and named AFC Fiorentina

The lack of funds means it's hard for Fiorentina to attract big names. Yet, looking at the roster over the years, football fans can recognise several prominent international and Italian players that wore the national colours at the World Cup.

Some of the notable players include:

• Gabriel Batistuta

• Roberto Baggio

• Francesco Toldo

• Daniel Passarella

• Carlos Dunga

• Luca Toni

• Giancarlo Antognoni

• Rui Costa

• Kurt Hamrin

ACF Fiorentina Top Managers

Fiorentina is a proud team with precious little patience for managers unable to restore the club to its glory days. The bench has been occupied by famous names such as Roberto Mancini, Dino Zoff, Cesare Prandelli, Claudio Ranieri, Giovanni Trapattoni and Sven-Göran Eriksson.

ACF Fiorentina Stadium

Fiorentina play home matches at Stadio Artemio Franchi, previously known as Stadio Comunale. This stadium has been the home of La Viola since 1931 and it has undergone several renovations since, notably ahead of the 1990 World Cup.

With a capacity of 43,147, this stadium is situated in the northeast of Florence, about 2km from the city centre. Originally, the stadium was named Giovanni Berta before being renamed after the Second World War. Besides Fiorentina matches, it's one of the Italian venues that host music concerts. Some of the biggest stars that have entertained the city’s residents include Madonna, David Bowie, Bruce Springsteen, and many others.
