'''Torino Football Club''' ({{IPA|it|toˈriːno|-|}}), colloquially referred to as '''Toro''', is an Italian professional [[Association football|football]] [[List of football clubs in Italy|club]] based in [[Turin]], [[Piedmont]] that currently plays in the [[Serie A]], the highest football league of Italy. Founded in 1906 as ''Foot-Ball Club Torino'', they are historically among the most successful clubs in the nation with seven [[List of Italian football champions|league titles]], many of which coming from the [[Grande Torino]] era in the 1940s. Their most recent Serie A title was won in 1976. Torino have won the [[Coppa Italia]] five times, and have won one international, now-defunct tournament—the [[Mitropa Cup]]—in 1991.

Torino plays all of its home games at the [[Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino]] (also known as the Stadio Comunale "Vittorio Pozzo" until 2006). The club's traditional colour is maroon, and its symbol is a rampant bull, the traditional symbol of the city of Turin, from which the club's nickname ''Il Toro'' (The Bull) is derived. Torino have a local rivalry with [[Juventus FC|Juventus]] and the two sides contest the [[Derby della Mole]].

==History==

===The foundation and first steps=== Football first arrived in the city of [[Turin]] at the end of the 19th century, introduced by the industrial [[Switzerland|Swiss]] and [[English people|English]]. By 1887, ''Football & Cricket Club''—the oldest Italian football club—had already been founded in the capital of [[Piedmont]], followed in 1889 by ''Nobili Torino''. In 1891 the two clubs merged to form [[Internazionale Torino]], after which [[F.B.C. Torinese|Football Club Torinese]] was founded in 1894.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.comune.torino.it/archiviostorico/mostre/sport_2005/pdf/085-096.pdf |title=Layout 1 |access-date=2017-05-06 |archive-date=3 March 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160303190621/http://www.comune.torino.it/archiviostorico/mostre/sport_2005/pdf/085-096.pdf |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://faccedatoro.altervista.org/campionato-calcio/1906-fondazione-torino-football-club.html |title=1906 - la nascita del Torino Football Club |publisher=Faccedatoro.altervista.org |access-date=2017-05-06 |archive-date=5 November 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131105084344/http://faccedatoro.altervista.org/campionato-calcio/1906-fondazione-torino-football-club.html |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.canottaggiolombardia.it/ust/storia/storia_02.php |title=::: Canottaggio Lombardia | Canottaggio allo stato puro ::: |access-date=2013-05-20 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130705045105/http://canottaggiolombardia.it/ust/storia/storia_02.php |archive-date=5 July 2013 |df=dmy-all }}</ref>

[[File:Alfred Dick.jpg|thumb|upright|left|[[Alfred Dick (entrepreneur)|Alfred Dick]], founder and then president of the newly born Foot-Ball Club Torino]] The new game quickly supplanted the popularity of [[Pallone|pallapugno]], which led to the foundation of the football sections of the sports clubs [[R.S. Ginnastica Torino|Ginnastica Torino]] and [[Juventus F.C.|Juventus]]. On 8 May 1898 Internazionale Torino, Football Club Torinese and Ginnastica Torino, along with [[Genoa C.F.C.|Genoa]] as part of the International Exhibition for the fiftieth anniversary of the [[Statuto Albertino]] gave birth to the first [[Italian Football Championship]].

In 1900, Football Club Torinese absorbed Internazionale Torino, and on 3 December 1906 at the Voigt brewery (now bar Norman) on Via Pietro Micca an alliance was formed with a group of Juventus dissidents, led by the Swiss financier [[Alfred Dick (entrepreneur)|Alfred Dick]].<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.lifeinitaly.com/sport/history-italian-soccer.asp | title=Edoardo Bosio and Football in Turin | work=Life in Italy | access-date=1 August 2007 | archive-date=27 June 2017 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170627030348/http://www.lifeinitaly.com/sport/history-italian-soccer.asp | url-status=live }}</ref> Through the merger of Football Club Torinese and the aforementioned group, "Foot-Ball Club Torino" was formed. The first official match was played on 16 December 1906 in [[Vercelli]] against [[F.C. Pro Vercelli 1892|Pro Vercelli]], won 3–1 by Torino.

[[File:Torinofc1907.jpg|thumb|Torino players pose for a photograph in 1906.]]

The first [[Derby della Mole|derby]] was played in the new year, dated 13 January 1907, in which Torino defeated [[Juventus F.C.|Juventus]] 2–1. Torino successfully replicated this by a margin of 4–1 a month later and gained the right to enter the final round of the [[Italian Football Championship]], placed second behind [[A.C. Milan|Milan]].

Torino did not participate in the [[1908 Italian Football Championship|1908]] Italian Football Championship as a rule was passed which limited the use of foreign players. The club instead played in two popular "minor" tournaments: the coveted "Palla Dapples" (a silver trophy in the shape of a regulation football), won against Pro Vercelli; and an international [[Torneo Internazionale Stampa Sportiva|tournament]] organised by [[La Stampa]], which took place in [[Turin]] that year. Torino lost in the final to [[Switzerland|Swiss]] side [[Servette FC|Servette]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.rsssf.org/tabless/stampa1908.html|title=Torneo Internazionale Stampa Sportiva 1908 (Torino)|author=RSSSF|access-date=20 June 2007|archive-date=13 March 2007|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070313162914/http://www.rsssf.com/tabless/stampa1908.html|url-status=live}}</ref>

In [[1914–15 Italian Football Championship|1915]], Torino were denied their first real championship attempt by the outbreak of [[World War I]]. With one match left to play, Torino (in second), were two points behind leaders [[Genoa C.F.C|Genoa]]. In the final game of the championship, Torino would have had the opportunity to play the Genoese head-on after defeating them in the first leg 6–1.

===The first ''scudetto''=== [[File:Torino fc 1929.jpg|thumb|left|Torino during a tour of Argentina in 1929]] The club experienced its first success under the presidency of Count Enrico Marone Cinzano, who was responsible for building the [[Stadio Filadelfia]].<ref name=Story>{{cite web|title=La Storia del Torino Fc|url=http://torinofc.it/en/storia|website=torinofc.it|publisher=Torino Football Club|access-date=5 November 2014|archive-date=26 January 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200126191340/http://torinofc.it/en/storia|url-status=live}}</ref> In attack, Torino boasted the ''Trio delle meraviglie'' (Trio of Wonders), composed of [[Julio Libonatti]], [[Adolfo Baloncieri]] and [[Gino Rossetti]], and won their first ''[[scudetto]]'' on 10 July 1927 after a 5–0 win against [[Bologna F.C. 1909|Bologna]]. However, the title was revoked on 3 November 1927 due to the "[[Allemandi Case]]".<ref name=Story />

After the revoking of the prior ''scudetto'', Torino were reconfirmed champions of Italy in the [[1927–28 Divisione Nazionale|1927–28 season]]. The "Trio of Wonders" scored 89 goals between them, with the title won on 22 July 1928, a 2–2 draw against [[A.C. Milan|Milan]].<ref name=Story />

After the resignation of Cinzano, the club began a slow decline in the early 1930s and often finished mid-table. It was not until the [[1935–36 Serie A|1935–36]] season that it began its revival, with a third-place finish in the league and first victory of the [[Coppa Italia]]. Renamed "Associazione Calcio Torino" due to the Italian [[Italian Fascism|fascist]] regime, Torino finished in second place in the [[1938–39 Serie A|1938–39]] season, under the technical director [[Ernest Erbstein]].

In 1939–40, Torino finished in fifth place, and saw the arrival of club president [[Ferruccio Novo]]. Novo provided financial support to the club and utilised his skill as a careful administrator. With valuable contributions from [[Antonio Janni]], Giacinto Ellena and Mario Sperone, Novo was able to build a team known as the [[Grande Torino]].<ref name=Story />

===Grande Torino=== {{Main|Grande Torino}} [[File:Grande Torino 1948 49.jpg|thumb|The ''Invincibles'' of the [[Grande Torino]], winners of five consecutive [[Serie A]] titles]]

The club's greatest period is encapsulated in the [[Grande Torino]], a team which won five titles in a row (not considering the interruption to the league in the [[1944 Campionato Alta Italia]], in which the [[Italian Football Federation]] (FIGC) in 2002 recognised only honorary value to [[Spezia Calcio|Spezia]]) between 1942 and 1949, and the [[Coppa Italia]] in 1943 (due to this success, Torino was the first team to win the coveted ''scudetto'' and Coppa Italia "double" in Italy during the same season). Torino's players formed the backbone of the Italy national team in this period, at one point fielding ten players simultaneously in the ''Azzurri''.

The captain and undisputed leader of the team was [[Valentino Mazzola]], father of [[Ferruccio Mazzola|Ferruccio]] and [[Sandro Mazzola|Sandro]], who would subsequently follow their father in becoming footballers. The typical starting lineup was: Bacigalupo; Ballarin; Maroso; Grezar; Rigamonti; Castigliano; Menti; Loik; Gabetto; Mazzola; Ossola. Their success came to an abrupt end on 4 May 1949 when the [[Fiat G.212]] airliner carrying the whole team crashed against the retaining wall of the [[Basilica of Superga]] in Turin. The crash was attributed to dense fog and [[spatial disorientation]] due a faulty altimeter in the cockpit. The team had been returning from a friendly with [[S.L. Benfica|Benfica]] played in [[Lisbon]]. In addition to the entire team and reserve players, the crash claimed the lives of coaches [[Egri Erbstein]] and [[Leslie Lievesley]], two club officials, the club masseur, three journalists, and the four members of the crew.<ref>{{Cite news |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/46788983 |title=The Guardian, 8 January 2019 |work=BBC Sport |date=8 January 2019 |access-date=12 January 2019 |archive-date=13 January 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190113054338/https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/46788983 |url-status=live }}</ref>

===From relegation to the title=== [[File:LuigiMeroni1.jpg|left|170px|thumb|''La Farfalla Granata'', [[Gigi Meroni]] in the 1960s]] Difficult years followed in the aftermath of the tragedy. A slow decline led to the club's first relegation to Serie B, which took place under the name "Talmone Torino" in [[1958–59 Serie A|1958–59]]. The stay in Serie B would only last one season, with Torino's return to the top flight in [[1960–61 Serie A|1960–61]]. In 1963, Orfeo Pianelli assumed presidency. He appointed [[Nereo Rocco]] as manager and signed club icon [[Gigi Meroni]], nicknamed "The Maroon Butterfly" (''La Farfalla Granata'').<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.lastampa.it/2015/10/15/sport/calcio/qui-toro/quarantotto-anni-fa-moriva-gigi-meroni-la-farfalla-granata-wI4OMn5UHaBTNQLL6KaTWL/pagina.html|title=Quarantotto anni fa moriva Gigi Meroni, la Farfalla granata|date=15 October 2015|access-date=13 April 2018|archive-date=14 April 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180414011003/http://www.lastampa.it/2015/10/15/sport/calcio/qui-toro/quarantotto-anni-fa-moriva-gigi-meroni-la-farfalla-granata-wI4OMn5UHaBTNQLL6KaTWL/pagina.html|url-status=live}}</ref> In [[1964–65 Serie A|1964–65]], the team finished in third place.

The reconstruction of a winning team, initiated by the club president Pianelli, continued with the victory of another Coppa Italia in the [[1970–71 Serie A|1970–71 season]].

In the [[1971–72 Serie A|1971–72 season]], Torino managed a third-place finish, placed just one point behind [[Juventus F.C.|Juventus]]. Across the following three seasons, Torino placed sixth, fifth, and sixth again ahead of what would be their seventh Serie A title in the [[1975–76 Serie A|1975–76 season]]. The ''scudetto'' was won after a comeback against Juventus, who held a five-point advantage over the ''Granata'' during the spring. However, three straight losses for the ''Bianconeri'', the second of which was in the derby, allowed Torino to overtake. In the final round, Torino held a one-point advantage and, until then, had won every previous home fixture. Torino hosted [[A.C. Cesena|Cesena]] at the Comunale but could only manage to draw; Juventus, however, were defeated at [[A.C. Perugia Calcio|Perugia]]. The title was won by two points ahead of Juventus, 27 years after the Superga tragedy.

[[File:Pulici-Graziani Torino 1975-76.jpg|thumb|[[Francesco Graziani]] and [[Paolo Pulici]], Torino's attacking duo in the 1975–76 season]] The same title race was repeated the next year in a season that saw Torino finish with 50 points behind Juventus' 51, a record points total for the 16-team league format. In 1978, Torino finished second again (tied with a Vicenza side led by [[Paolo Rossi]]), still behind Juventus but with a larger gulf in points. In later years, whilst still remaining one of Serie A's top teams, the team began a slow decline and was not able to replicate past results, with the exception of the second place in [[1984–85 Serie A|1984–85]], where the team finished behind a [[Hellas Verona F.C.|Verona]] side led by [[Osvaldo Bagnoli]].

In the league, after a strong start to the season, Torino collapsed and only obtained a minimum achievement of safety from relegation.

The following season was also negative, and marked by the alternation on the bench of managers [[Marco Giampaolo]] and [[Davide Nicola]]. Torino managed only to achieve safety from relegation on the penultimate round of the season with a 0–0 draw away against [[S.S. Lazio|Lazio]]. The following season saw the arrival of [[Ivan Jurić]] on the bench, who guided the club to a tenth-place finish. The following season saw Torino finish again in tenth-place, missing out on qualification to the [[UEFA Conference League]] by 3 points. In the following season, the team finished ninth-place in the standings, failing to qualify for the Conference League due to [[Fiorentina]]'s defeat in the final of the Conference League. Ivan Jurić departed the club at the end of the season after 3 years and was replaced by [[Paolo Vanoli]].

The first uniform used by Torino only a few days after its foundation and in the first game of its history against [[F.C. Pro Vercelli 1892|Pro Vercelli]] was striped [[Orange (colour)|orange]] and [[black (colour)|black]], similar to the [[Kit (association football)|kits]] used by [[Internazionale Torino]] and [[F.B.C.

The most widely accepted story is that it was adopted in honour of the [[Duke of the Abruzzi]] and the [[House of Savoy]], which, after the victorious liberation of Turin from the French in 1706, adopted a blood-colored handkerchief in honour of a messenger killed bringing the news of victory.<ref>{{cite web|title=Il Toro compie 107 anni|url=http://www.buongiornobrasile.com/il-toro-compie-107-anni/|website=Buongiorno Brasile|access-date=2 May 2014|language=it|archive-date=2 May 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140502202717/http://www.buongiornobrasile.com/il-toro-compie-107-anni/|url-status=live}}</ref> Other accounts, considered less reliable, speak of a tribute to the founder [[Alfred Dick (entrepreneur)|Alfred Dick]], who was a fan of the Genevan team [[Servette FC|Servette]], the Swiss club of the founders homeland, or a reference to the English club [[Sheffield F.C.|Sheffield]], the oldest football club in the world, whose colours were also initially adopted by Internazionale Torino. There is even the possibility that the dark red was created by chance, as a result of repeated washing—a reconstruction that is found with many other club's football kits—among the uniforms that were [[Red (colour)|red]] with [[Black (colour)|black]] socks; the colour derived, being considered a good omen, would eventually be chosen as the official colour. Previously, the club had tried to obtain permission to use [[royal blue]], but the monarchs of Italy were reluctant to grant the use of their dynastic color to a single team, as opposed to a few years later, when [[Azure (color)|Azure]] adopted by the various national sports teams.<ref>{{cite book|first1=Sergio|last1=Salvi|first2=Alessandro|last2=Savorelli|title=Tutti i colori del calcio : storia e araldica di una magnifica ossessione|date=2008|publisher=[[Le Lettere]]|location=Florence|isbn=978-88-6087-178-7|edition=5. rist.|language=it}}</ref><ref name="nickname">{{cite web|title=Torino|url=https://www.uefa.com/nationalassociations/teams/50029--torino/|work=[[UEFA]]|access-date=31 January 2014|archive-date=22 February 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140222152304/http://www.uefa.com/teamsandplayers/teams/club=50029/profile/index.html|url-status=live}}</ref>

Since then, the traditional home jersey of Torino has been composed of a kit combined with [[White (colour)|white]], but occasionally also maroon shorts and black socks with maroon cuff. However, it has not been unusual to see the team take to the field with maroon socks, especially at the turn of the 1970s and 1980s when the team permanently adopted a complete maroon kit.

From 11 October 1925 until the end of the [[1925–26 Prima Divisione|1925–26]] season, Torino played their home games at ''Motovelodromo Corso Casale'' (now restored, it is dedicated to [[Fausto Coppi]] and also hosts [[American football]] matches), while awaiting their move to the [[Stadio Filadelfia]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.motovelodromo.com/storia.php|title=Storia|publisher=motovelodromo.com|access-date=13 December 2014|archive-date=31 October 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131031214631/http://www.motovelodromo.com/storia.php|url-status=live}}</ref> The "Fila" as it was known was heavily associated with the exploits of the [[Grande Torino]] team of the 1940s: opened on 17 October 1926 with a match against [[Fortitudo-Pro Roma S.G.S.|Fortitudo Roma]], it hosted Torino's games continuously until 11 May 1958 (the final match being a 4–2 victory over [[Genoa C.F.C.|Genoa]]).<ref name=Storia /> In the [[1958–59 Serie A|1958–59]] season, the club briefly moved to the [[Stadio Olimpico di Torino|Stadio Comunale]]: the move was short-lived however, as the club was relegated to Serie B that year, and returned to the Filadelfia out of superstition.<ref name=comunale>{{cite web|url=http://www.torinofc.it/stadio/494|title=Lo stadio|publisher=torinofc.it|access-date=13 December 2014|archive-date=13 December 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141213183708/http://www.torinofc.it/stadio/494|url-status=live}}</ref>

Torino played the entirety of the [[1959–60 Serie B|1959–60]] season and the next at the Filadelfia, but in [[1961–62 Serie A|1961–62]] and [[1962–63 Serie A|1962–63]] the club began to use the Comunale for "special" matches. The move to the Comunale, a stadium with a standing capacity of 65,000, was completed in [[1963–64 Serie A|1963–64]], and Torino remained there until 27 May 1990 when the stadium was abandoned in favour of the [[Stadio delle Alpi]].

The fans of Torino are "twinned" with the fans of [[ACF Fiorentina|Fiorentina]]. The link between the two sides was born in the early 1970s due to a common anti-[[Juventus F.C.|Juventus]] sentiment and the closeness of the ''Viola'' after the Superga tragedy.<ref name="ViolaUltrasGemellaggi">{{cite web|url=http://xoomer.virgilio.it/violaultras/_sgg/m2m2s3_1.htm|title=Gemellaggi e rivalità|publisher=Viola Ultras|access-date=13 October 2010|archive-date=6 October 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141006085144/http://xoomer.virgilio.it/violaultras/_sgg/m2m2s3_1.htm|url-status=live}}</ref> Supporters of Torino are on good terms with the ''curva nord'' of [[U.S. Alessandria Calcio 1912|Alessandria]] and ''curva sud'' of [[A.S.G.

The friendship between Brazilian club [[Sport Club Corinthians Paulista|Corinthians]] and Torino dates back to 1914; that year, Torino became the first Italian club to travel South America on tour. The club played six friendly matches, two of which were against Corinthians, and despite the results on the field, the two clubs established friendly relationships. On 4 May 1949, when the [[Grande Torino]] team perished in plane crash of Superga, Corinthians paid tribute to the Italians in a friendly match against [[Associação Portuguesa de Desportos|Portuguesa]] when its starting XI took to the field in Torino's kit.<ref name="corinthians twinning">{{cite web|title=O INESQUECÍVEL TORINO|language=pt|url=http://www.citadini.com.br/alambrado/oexp011215.htm|work=citadini.com.br|publisher=citadini|access-date=1 February 2014|archive-date=27 November 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151127010108/http://www.citadini.com.br/alambrado/oexp011215.htm|url-status=live}}</ref>

The Argentines of [[Club Atlético River Plate|River Plate]] are historically twinned with Torino, since the time of the Superga disaster. In the period following the disaster, the Argentine club was very close to the Italian club, organising a friendly and fundraiser to help the devastated team. On 26 May 1949, River flew to Turin to play a friendly charity match organised by the FIGC, together with a selection that included the strongest Italian players of the era, gathered under the name of "Torino symbol".<ref>{{cite web |url=http://sport.notizie.it/dramma-river-plate-piange-anche-il-torino/ |title=Dramma River Plate: piange anche il Torino - Notizie.it |publisher=Sport.notizie.it |date=2011-06-27 |access-date=2017-05-06 |archive-date=16 December 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141216211843/http://sport.notizie.it/dramma-river-plate-piange-anche-il-torino/ |url-status=live }}</ref> As a testimony to the relationship between the two clubs, the away jersey of the Argentine club has been maroon on several occasions (most recently, the [[2005–06 Argentine Primera División|2005–06 season]]) while Torino have sported several variations of an away kit with a diagonal band, an homage to River's home kit.<ref name="passionemaglie.it"/> The bond with the Portuguese of [[Sport Lisboa e Benfica|Benfica]] is also very strong, the last to have met the Grande Torino before the aerial disaster of Superga.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.toronews.net/toro/benfica-torino-la-eusebio-cup-che-parla-italiano/|title=Benfica-Torino: la Eusebio Cup che parla italiano|date=26 July 2016 |access-date=5 May 2019|archive-date=5 May 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190505115122/http://www.toronews.net/toro/benfica-torino-la-eusebio-cup-che-parla-italiano/|url-status=live}}</ref> Other supporters with whom there is a friendship are supporters of English club [[Manchester City F.C.|Manchester City]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.passionemaglie.it/2013/07/maglie-torino-2013-2014-kappa-presentate-bormio/|title=Presentate a Bormio le maglie del Torino 2013–2014 firmate Kappa|publisher=passionameglie.it|access-date=19 January 2015|date=22 July 2013|archive-date=30 October 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141030220351/http://www.passionemaglie.it/2013/07/maglie-torino-2013-2014-kappa-presentate-bormio/|url-status=live}}</ref>
