Om Torino FC
The team resides and plays in the same city of one of football’s most famous and winningest teams - Juventus, a team with mass Italian and European followers, which is supported by what is most arguably the country’s biggest industrial power. And yet, Torino FC’s history is rich with famous players, achievements and also agony and grief.
Torino FC is a 19th century product of a merger between two teams formed in the city of Turin. Swiss and English workers formed a football club called Internazionale FC Torino who started playing in 1891. Three years later, another club by the name of Football Club Torinese began operating. In 1900 Internazionale merged into Torinese and the club wore yellow and black stripes uniform. By 1906, a second merger occurred, this time with a group of Juventus dissidents, which formed Torino FC. Yellow and black was out, maroon was in. The first official match was held on December 16, 1906.
First championship was won in 1927-28 season. It will be another 15 years until the next title, but in the meantime, during the 30’s Torino has laid the foundation to what has become known as “Grande Torino”, the team that will dominate Italian football of the 40’s. A massive investment in youth academy and development has started paying of with first Coppa Italia in 1935-36. It will take another several years for the young players to mature, but when they did, there was no stopping them. Torino won five Serie A championships in the 40’s, including a domestic double in 1942-43. When the decade was done, it will take almost 30 more years until the next and final championship, in 1975-76. The end came crushing down tragically for Grande Torino in 1949. As the team returned home from Lisbon after playing a friendly against Benfica, it’s plane crashed, killing the entire team. Half a million-people walked in silence after the coffins, paying tribute to their heroes. It took Torino a long time to recover, as first relegation to Serie B came in 1958-59.
Torino came back from Serie B during the beginning of the 90’s and advanced all the to the UEFA Cup final in 1991-92, where it lost to Ajax Amsterdam in two matches. The rest of the 90’s and the new millennium were a hard time for Torino, as financial difficulties drove the team to the brink of bankruptcy. It was relegated to Serie B a few times and in one instance, in 2005, got a refusal to get promoted to the top league in 2005 due to the problems. All was settled after the club was purchased by a group of local businessmen.
In all, Torino has won 7 Serie A Scudetto and 5 Coppa Italia Cups. Torino play its home matches in 27,958-seat renovated Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino. The club’s biggest rivalry, of course, is with cross-town powerhouse Juventus.
Torino’s most capped player is the late captain Giorgio Ferrini, who recorded 566 appearances between 1959-1975. It’s top goal scorer is Paolo Pulici, who scored 172 goals in 335 matches between 1967-1982.
