Udinese Italian Cup Tickets

Udinese Calico do not have the storied history that other clubs in Italy are able to boast when it comes down to the Coppa Italia competition, however that has not stopped fans from passionately supporting their side when they take part in the tournament each season. As such, the 25,144 capacity Stadio Friuli becomes an incredible venue to witness some great football in the cup.

The club has numerous nicknames that they go by, with I Bianconeri (not to be confused with Juventus FC), I Friulani and Le Zebrette all having been commonly used over the years. Despite the stature of the club, they have had a number of top players turn out in their colours over the years in the cup competition, with the likes of Alexis Sanchez, Juan Cuadrado, Carsten Jancker, Oliver Bierhoff, Vincenzo Iaquinta, Bruno Fernandes, Łukasz Teodorczyk and Mehdi Benatia all making several appearances over the years.

Udinese Calcio have not had great success when it comes to the tournament, as they have only been able to reach one final since being formed as a football club. Over the years, the club have found it incredibly difficult to build any momentum in the tournament as they appear to go out in the early stages more often than not.

I Bianconeri competed in the very first edition of the Coppa Italia in the 1921/22 season, however they were on the wrong end of the result as they lost to Vado.

Of course, moments in the Coppa Italia for Udinese Calcio have been very few and far between over the years although they have continued to put in some strong performances in recent editions of the competition. However, their 2019/20 campaign might be one of the most memorable for the club’s faithful in recent seasons.

That particular instalment of the Coppa Italia would be memorable as it saw the club reach the Round of 16 in the final bracket of the tournament, having beat Südtirol 3-1 in the third round and comprehensively beat Bologna F.C. 1909 4-0 in the fourth round. However they were then beaten by Juventus FC 4-0 away from home.

The club have, however had their shocks in the competition as well, including as recently as the 2018/19 campaign. Having entered at the third round stage of the Coppa Italia, Udinese Calcio were knocked out after extra-time by Benevento 1-2 at the Stadio Friuli.
