The club has spent most of their history in the top tier in [[Italian football]], where they currently play for the [[Serie A 2008-09|2008&ndash;09]] season. Torino, who play in [[Maroon (color)|maroon]] shirts with white shorts have won [[Serie A]] seven times, first in [[Italian Football Championship 1927-28|1927&ndash;28]] and most recently in [[Serie A 1975-76|1975&ndash;76]]. They have also won [[Coppa Italia]] in their home country five times. On the European stage, the nearest Torino have come to success is finishing runners-up in the [[UEFA Cup]], this was achieved in [[UEFA Cup 1991-92|1991–92]]. Historically, Torino are the fourth most successful club in [[Italian football]].<ref name=alltime>{{cite news|url=http://www.rsssf.com/tablesi/italalltimeall.html|publisher=RSSSF.com|title= Italy -All-Time Table 1898-2002|date=[[23 June]] 2007}}</ref> The club was known as ''Associazione Calcio Torino'' until 1970, and as ''Torino Calcio'' from 1970 to 2005. ==History== '''Foot-Ball Club Torino''' was founded on [[3 December]] [[1906]] after a meeting at the Voigt brewery in ''Via Pietro Micca'' near the center of Turin. Its foundation involved some [[Juventus]] dissidents led by [[Alfredo Dick]], who had left the ''bianconeri'' after some at the club wanted to move Juventus out of Turin.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.juventusstory.it/societa/storia/storia_tab.asp?Id_Stagione=6|publisher=JuventusStory.it|title= La Storia della Juventus - 1905|date=[[8 June]] 2007}}</ref> As well as Alfredo Dick, other prominent founders included the [[Swiss]] businessman Hans Schoenbrod (first chairman), and [[Vittorio Pozzo]] (later manager of [[Italian national football team|Italy]]).<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.comune.torino.it/archiviostorico/mostre/sport_2005/pdf/085-096.pdf | title=Calcio | work=Comune Torino | accessdate=August | accessyear=2007}}</ref> The first ground for FBC Torino would be ''[[Velodromo Umberto I]]'' in the La Crocetta neighbourhood, for which Dick owned the lease.

Torino lost in the final 3-1 to Swiss side [[Servette]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.rsssf.com/tabless/stampa1908.html|title=Torneo Internazionale Stampa Sportiva 1908 (Torino)|author=RSSSF|accessdate=2007-06-20}}</ref> In 1909 it was succeeded by the [[Sir Thomas Lipton Trophy]], in which a Torino XI comprised of [[Juventus F.C.|Juve]] and Torino players participated but did not make it to the final.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.rsssf.com/tablesl/lipton-trophy.html|title=Sir Thomas Lipton Trophy (Torino)|author=RSSSF|accessdate=2007-06-20}}</ref> After the early years, Torino were denied their first championship attempt by the outbreak of [[World War I]], and their first title was revoked in 1926/27 due to an irregularity in the match against [[Juventus]]. Torino won its first ''Scudetto'', the Italian [[Serie A]] league Championship, the following 1927/28 season and, between 1942/43 and 1948/49, the "[[Grande Torino]]" (Great Torino), widely considered the best ever team in Italian football history, won five other straight scudetti, led by its captain, [[Valentino Mazzola]]. On [[May 4]], [[1949]], all but one player (who was out for an injury) of [[Grande Torino]] were killed when their [[Superga air disaster|plane crashed into the hills of Superga]], on the outskirts of Turin. The club never recovered, and after a decade of mediocre seasons, they were relegated to [[Serie B]] in 1958/59, although they returned to Serie A the following season. By the early 1960s and until the late 1980s, Torino had good results in [[Serie A]], including another Scudetto in the 1975/76 season. Since the end of the 1980s, the club went up and down between Serie A and [[Serie B]], the top two divisions with little success, except a [[Coppa Italia]] in 1992/93 and a [[Mitropa Cup]] win in 1990/91. Among the best results ever achieved in the club's history, it reached the [[UEFA Cup]] Final in 1991/92 only to lose it in two aggregate matches to [[Ajax Amsterdam]] without being defeated. [[Image:FCTorino.png|100px|left|thumb|Old logo for ''Torino Calcio'', used until 2005.]] In 2004/05, Torino finished 3rd in [[Serie B]] and, after winning the playoffs, was promoted back in [[Serie A]]. However, the [[Italian Football Federation|FIGC]], the governing body of Italian football, expelled both Torino Calcio and [[F.C. Messina]] from [[Serie A]], due to both clubs' financial problems. However, while Messina was re-admitted by a civil court of appeal, Torino was not and it was cancelled from the Italian sport panorama. Thanks to the 'Lodo Petrucci' (Italian law which allows a sport club that is the direct heir of a cancelled one to be re-admitted one division below the previous one), a new club was founded under the current name Torino F.C. and was admitted to play the next season, again in [[Serie B]]. Bought by entrepreneur [[Urbano Cairo]], Torino FC ended its 2005/2006 Serie B campaign in third place, being therefore qualified for the promotion play-offs. Torino subsequently defeated [[A.C. Mantova|Mantova]] in the final to earn promotion to Serie A. Even in its worst seasons, Torino has often achieved good results in epic matches (the so-called "derbies") against the other Turin team, [[Juventus]]. Since 1990 the club has played in the 69,040 capacity [[Stadio Delle Alpi]], shared with [[Juventus]]. Prior to 1990 the clubs shared the Stadio Comunale for thirty years, Torino moving there from the glorious [[Stadio Filadelfia]], home of [[Grande Torino]]. Starting with the 2006/07 season Torino will move into a new, smaller ground of its own, the [[Stadio Grande Torino]] (which is the renewed former stadio comunale). <br> Actually the [[Stadio delle Alpi]] (that is of [[Juventus]] Turin propriety) is closed for a future rebuilt: after that maybe Torino will still use it for a number of high profile matches. When playing at home Torino wears a maroon top and white shorts (sometimes is full maroon) but when playing else where the team wears all white. When practicing Torino wears red and white or red and black. [[Image:Grande Torino scan.jpg|thumb|270px|A lineup of the Grande Torino.]] ==Il Grande Torino== [[Grande Torino]] ("The Great Torino") is the name by which the legendary [[Torino F.C.]] team of the 1940s is popularly known in [[Italy]]. Grande Torino set many important records of [[Italy|Italian]] [[football (soccer)|football]], all of which still stand today. Grande Torino played with the 4-4-2 10 years before the [[Brazil national football team|Brazil]] 1958 [[FIFA World Cup|World Cup]] team, and some of their game tactics anticipated by 35 years the [[Netherlands|Dutch]] [[Total Football]] that revolutionized the game in the 1970s. The all-star starting lineup of Grande Torino that died at Superga is the most famous in [[Italy|Italian]] [[football (soccer)|football]] history as every Italian fan knows it: [[Valerio Bacigalupo]], [[Aldo Ballarin]], [[Virgilio Maroso]], [[Pino Grezar]], [[Mario Rigamonti]], [[Eusebio Castigliano]], [[Romeo Menti]], [[Ezio Loik]], [[Guglielmo Gabetto]], [[Valentino Mazzola]], and [[Franco Ossola]]; the son of Ossola is now the major biographer of the Club's history. The [[Italy national football team]] starting lineup in the second half of the forties consisted almost entirely of Grande Torino players, which regularly contributed with 8-9 starters. On [[May 11]], 1947, for the friendly match between Italy and [[Hungary]] 3-2, the ''Azzurri'' starting lineup was made of 10 Grande Torino players plus the [[Juventus]] goalkeeper Sentimenti IV. Italian manager [[Vittorio Pozzo]] reserved the Azzurri starting keeper Valerio Bacigalupo; otherwise it would have been the whole Grande Torino team playing for Italy. Legendary captain [[Valentino Mazzola]] was also the captain of the [[Italy national football team]] as well as the father of [[Sandro Mazzola]], who was also a great champion playing for [[Internazionale Milano F.C.|Internazionale Milano]] and Italy in the 1960s-70s. Valentino was an all-around playmaker midfielder who could direct the team, pass, score, tackle, defend, inspire and lead his teammates. ==Grande Torino records== * Most consecutive Italian [[Serie A]] league titles: 5 straight championships from 1943 to 1949 (1942/43, 1945/46, 1946/47, 1947/48, 1948/49, in 1944 and 1945 no league matches were played because of [[World War II]]), which ties
