Bologna FC History
|
Bologna F.C. 1909 is a Italian
football club based in Bologna, nicknamed the rossoblù. They
play in red and blue striped shirts with blue shorts and socks.
Bologna was founded in October 1909 as AGC Bologna, and in the
1920s and 1930s was one of the pre-eminent Italian sides. After
World War II the club was less successful, winning a few
domestic cup competitions but little else; beginning in the
1981-82 season the club was relegated twice in succession and
slid into Serie C1. They won their way out of C1 the next year,
however, and returned to Serie A for the 1989-90 season. They
did not remain long, however, being relegated in 1991 and
returning to C1 in 1993. The club returned to Serie A in 1996
and have remained there since, surviving at mid-table and
challenging for a UEFA Cup place.
Bologna won the Seria A seven times, the last triumph coming in
1964, and the Coppa Italia twice.
The club play at the 40,572 seater Stadio Renato Dall'Ara.
Bologna has played there since 1927 when it was called the
Stadio Littoriale; it was renamed Stadio Comunale in 1946 and
then Stadio Renato Dall’Ara in 1983 after a former club
president.
The club's notable players have included Angelo Schiavio, Felice
Gasperi, Mario Gianni, Amedeo Biavati, Michele Andreolo, Gino
Pivatelli, Harald Nielsen, Giacomo Bulgarelli, Kennet Andersson,
Roberto Baggio, Giuseppe Signori, and Gianluca Pagliuca, who is
still playing for the team. Theodoros Zagorakis, the captain of
the Greece team that won Euro 2004, joined Bologna for the
2004-05 season. |
