Genoa

Genoa CFC, established in 1893, is one of Italy's oldest football clubs, based in Genoa, Liguria. The team, known as "Il Grifone" (The Griffin), has a rich history, having won the Italian championship nine times, though most of its successes were in the early 20th century. Genoa's colors are red and blue, with matches held at the iconic Stadio Luigi Ferraris. The club's passionate fan base plays a vital role in its identity, and rivalries with fellow Ligurian club Sampdoria, known as the Derby della Lanterna, add to its storied tradition in Italian football.
