Let us take a look at Fiorentina sponsors, Fiorentina fans, Fiorentina History, and Fiorentina Net Worth.
Fiorentina was founded in 1926 by a fascist party member who merged two local clubs, CS Firenze and PG Libertas, to create a strong Florence-based club. The club reached Serie A after navigating the lower league in 1931. They lifted their first Coppa Italia in 1941.
The club surprised everyone by winning its first Serie A title in 1956 ahead of AC Milan. They followed it up by finishing second in the league for the next three seasons. In 1961, they won their first Cup Winners' Cup against Rangers. The 60s yielded further cups and a second Serie A title.
The Italian football club folded in 2001 as years of financial mismanagement led to bankruptcy. They were out of the football system before an ownership change sparked life. Diego Della Valle, the new owner, registered the club again in 2002 before helping them get back to Serie A. The club became a regular European contender again.
After the current owner, Rocco Commisso, took over, they started pushing for Champions League spots as well. The Viola lost two Conference League finals back-to-back under Vincenzo Italiano. However, Stefano Pioli was put in charge in the hopes of going all the way and also challenging for the league title.

Fiorentina fans have an unbreakable and deep connection to the city of Florence. They express pride in their city and nurture their heritage through the club. The passionate fans formed one of the best ultras in the world, called the Curva Fiesole. They are well known for their chants, tifos and impressive choreographies.
Their anthem, “Canzne Viola,” is one of the oldest in world football. This helped them build a global fanbase, as the chant brought them fame worldwide.
Fiorentina have become regular contenders for European football in the past few years. However, they haven't really competed for the Scudetto in a volatile Serie A now. No team in Italy has a stronghold on the league now, and despite knowing this, the Viola haven't gone for the kill. They have had solace in deep cup runs and going close in European tournaments. A couple of Conference League defeats broke their hearts, but they will be determined to make it third time lucky this season. Finishing in the Champions League spots and making a statement after a poor start is also on the agenda this season.
