About Venezia FC
Founded in 1907, Venezia FC (VFC) is the professional football club of Venice, Italy. The iconic club is known for its focus on sporting excellence and integrity combined with its mission focused on social responsibility, culture, and the preservation of Venice. Located on the lagoon island of Sant’Elena, the historic club plays at Stadio Pier Luigi Penzo, Italy’s second oldest stadium adjacent to the grounds of the Venice Biennale. For the majority of the club's history, VFC has ranked in Italy's top two divisions. One of the club's most significant achievements was winning the Coppa Italia in 1940-41. Following the union of the two Venetian teams of Venice and Mestre on June 26, 1987, the “arancio, nero, verde” team we know today was formed. Between the timeframe of 2015-2020, VFC was promoted from Serie D, to Serie C, to Serie B and then raised to Serie A in 2021, considered an amazing achievement. The team is currently in Serie B.
