ACF Fiorentina-What to know!

[MediacomErin]

ACF Fiorentina is a European soccer team based out of Tuscany, Italy. The organization was purchased in 2019 by Mediacom CEO, Rocco Commisso. The organization contains both a men and women's' team that are currently ranked 4th in Serie A for both divisions and are playing in the Coppa Italia Quarter Finals.  

The organizations motto is PLAY TO BE DIFFERENT. This is the slogan that will accompany the club's communications – an invitation to seek out an individual, authentic way of seeing and playing football. To be different, alternative, proud of our diversity. 

It's time for a fun fact about the team! 

Originally home shirts were half red and white, while shorts and socks black. In 1929, a mistake during the washing of a set jerseys given to Fiorentina by Colligiana meant the red dye ran into the white, creating a shade of purple. The color was so well liked by fans, it became the official team color! 

The next game is set for January 14th Vs. Udinese and you can watch it on Paramount +

Be sure to stop by after the game Sunday for highlights, upcoming game information, and a player profile!
