ACF Fiorentina, founded on August 29, 1926, is much more than a football club; it is the sporting and cultural heart of Florence. Its identity is inextricably linked to its purple color, adopted by chance after a faulty wash of its original red and white kits, and which today is a symbol of pride for its fans. The team, known as the 'Viola', plays at the Stadio Artemio Franchi, a gem of Italian rationalist architecture opened in 1931, with a capacity for over 43,000 spectators.
The club's history is marked by golden eras, such as the 1950s and 60s, when they won their two 'Scudetti' (1955-56 and 1968-69) and became the first Italian team to reach a European Cup final. Fiorentina has also won six Coppa Italia trophies and a European Cup Winners' Cup, solidifying its list of honors. The fanbase, led by the famous 'Curva Fiesole', is renowned throughout Italy for its loyalty and spectacular choreographies, creating a matchday atmosphere that combines passion, tradition, and a deep sense of belonging.
