Torino
Torino FC (TOR)
Overview
Torino FC, commonly called Toro, represents one of Italian football's historic institutions. Founded in 1906, the Piedmontese club possesses glorious but tragic history making it one of Italy's most moving clubs. The Granata (Garnets) share the Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino with Juventus, creating unique cohabitation in Italian football. This 27,000-capacity venue bears the legendary Grande Torino's name.
Torino's history is marked by the Grande Torino of the 1940s, legendary team that won five consecutive Scudetti and dominated Italian football. Tragically, this exceptional team perished in the Superga air disaster in 1949, killing 31 people including all players. This tragedy profoundly marked the club and Italian football. Toro won seven Scudetti in total and remains one of Italy's most decorated formations despite difficult decades.
Torino embodies Piedmontese passion and Turin's popular soul against more aristocratic Juventus. The club maintains the Derby della Mole, one of Italy's most intense rivalries dividing the city for over a century. The Granata pursue their reconstruction with the ambition to return to the summit and honor Grande Torino's memory, perpetuating the greatest team's legacy in the club's history.
