Sampdoria

Sampdoria (Italian: Unione Calcio Sampdoria) is an Italian football club from Genoa. The team was founded in 1946 as a merger of two clubs founded in the late 19th century: "Sampierdernese" and "Andrea Doria" whose names were merged to create the new club's name, and the colors of the merged club are a combination of their colors. The dominant color of the club is blue with white-red-black stripes, which is why the club is nicknamed: "blucerchiati" ("blues of the ring"). The team plays at the Luigi Ferraris Stadium in Genoa, which has a capacity of 36,536, which it shares with its city rival Genoa. The matches between the teams are the Genoa derby, also known as the "Lighthouse Derby" (named after the famous lighthouse at the entrance to the city's ancient port). The team won the European Cup Winners' Cup in 1990 and the first and only Scudetto (Italian championship) in its history a year later. It also won the Italian Cup four times and reached the cup final three more times. Between 1989 and 1992, Sampdoria appeared in three European finals. It lost twice to Barcelona: in the 1989 European Cup Winners' Cup final and the 1992 European Champions' Cup final. Between these two losses, it won the 1990 European Cup Winners' Cup.
