Udinese Calcio, founded in 1896, represents the pride of the Friuli-Venezia Giulia region and is one of the historical pillars of Italian football. Its identity, forged over more than a century, is reflected in its black and white colors, which give it the nicknames "Bianconeri" and "Zebrette." The club has been a consistent participant in Serie A, challenging the giants of Italian football from its modern Stadio Friuli.
