A.C. Milan - statistics & facts
In December 1899, a group of English expatriates and Italians officially founded the Milan Football & Cricket Club. During the Fascism regime the team was forced to use the Italian name of the city, Milano, but the English spelling – chosen as a homage to its founders – came back in 1945, when the club changed its name to A.C. Milan. Since 1926, the so-called Rossoneri (Red and Blacks) play home games at the Giuseppe Meazza, the Serie A stadium recording the highest capacity in Italy. Nowadays, A.C. Milan shares the facility with another Serie A Milanese team, F.C. Internazionale, so it comes as no surprise that these two clubs recorded the highest number of attendances at Serie A soccer games as of the 2019/2020 season.
