UC Sampdoria Coppa Italia Tickets

U.C. Sampdoria are a side that has plenty of history when it comes down to the Coppa Italia, with the club having proven to be a successful outfit over the years when involved in the domestic club cup competition. The Serie A side, who have an extremely passionate fanbase, have an incredible 36,536 capacity stadium, the Stadio Luigi Ferraris, which helps to provide fans with a classy matchday experience when they play their matches in the cup at home when handed a draw in front of their own fans.

The club, who have had numerous nicknames such as I Blucerchiati, La Samp and Il Doria all being used, have had a number of quality players turn out for them over the years in previous editions of the competition. Individuals such as Ronaldo Vieira, Manolo Gabbiadini, Maya Yoshida, Omar Colley, Gastón Ramírez, Ruud Gullit, David Platt, Gianluca Vialli and Roberto Mancini have all featured for the football club in the past.

As mentioned, U.C. Sampdoria have been a hugely successful side to have ever emerged from the Italian game over the years to compete in the Coppa Italia throughout its existence. La Samp have managed to lift the trophy on no fewer than four occasions, with their triumphs having come in 1984–85, 1987–88, 1988–89, 1993–94.

The Genoa-based outfit have reached the tournament’s finale on no fewer than on seven occasions, as the club have had to settle for at least three runners up medals as well. Those came in the 1985/86, 1990/91 and 2008/09 editions of the Coppa Italia.

Of course, U.C. Sampdoria have had a number of memorable moments in the Coppa Italia, with their run to the 2008/09 spectacle perhaps one of the freshest to have happened in recent years.

For example, on their way to the showpiece, La Samp managed to overcome the likes of Empoli, Udinese Calcio and Inter Milan over two legs to play against SS Lazio in the final. However, that final appeared to be a step too far for the club, as they were beaten in a tense penalty shoot-out that appeared to go on forever after a 1-1 tie after extra-time had been played.

Like everyone else, though, U.C. Sampdoria have had moments they will want to have forgotten about when being involved in the Coppa Italia, as fans will likely continue to look back at their shock defeat to Juve Stabia in a penalty shoot-out in Section 4 of the 2012/13 tournament.
