ACF Fiorentina, commonly known as Fiorentina, is one of the most successful clubs in Italian professional football. The club was founded by a merger on August 26th, 1926. The beginnings were not terribly successful, but by 1931 the Club had managed to reach the so-called Serie A. In the early 1950´s Fiorentina was consistently reaching top-five finishes in the Italian League, and their first “scudetto” -first place in the League- was finally won in 1956.
In their history, Fiorentina have won two top-flight Italian Championships, six Coppa Italia trophies, one Supercoppa Italiana, and one UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup.
With a number of prominent former players and a few long-standing, passionate rivalries, Fiorentina continue to play a hugely significant role in Italian soccer.
