Details:
Description:Founded on October 3, 1909. Bologna were a major club in Italy before the Second World War but have long since slid into mid-table obscurity...or worse. Like many other clubs they were forced to drop their English name during the reign of the Fascists, who pushed an Italianization of the country's linguistic landscape. They were known as AGC Bologna (Associazione Giocare Calcio) from 1926-45. The club went bankrupt in 1993 after relegation to the third division and were reformed as Bologna F.C. 1909. The club's emblem incorporates both the team's trademark red and blue stripes and the cross of St George, prominent in the city of Bologna's coat of arms. The Felsinei nickname is a reference to the ancient city of Felsina which was located at the site of modern-day Bologna. Stadio Renato Dall'Ara:The stadium is named for a former club president who led the club from 1934-64. It was originally known as the Stadio Littorale (1927-45) and as the Stadio Communale (1945-83). Il Littoriale was the original name of the modern Italian football daily Corriere dello Sport. The paper was founded in Bologna by the Fascist party dignitary Leandro Aprinati, who played a major role in the stadium's construction. After the end of the second World War the name was changed to the Stadio Communale (City Stadium).
Previous Stadiums: Cesoia (-1913), Sterlino (1913-27).
