Lazio history
Lazio has a long history.
1900
Lazio was founded in 1900. The club’s predecessor was Società Podestica Lazio. When it was first established, it was not a very notable club and had no title whatsoever. However, in 1958 they won the Coppa Italia. This is the club’s first title. They also won the Serie A title in the 1973-1974 season, but have no other title. In this respect, their performance was significantly inferior to that of their rival, Rome.
1990
It was in 1992 that the ordinary club began to change. When Sergio Cragnotti, the president of a major food company, became chairman, he began to make major reinforcements and began to appear in the upper ranks. In 1998, the club became the first Italian club to list its shares on the stock exchange, which provided ample funds for major reinforcements. This went well and they won the UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup in 1998-1999. They reached their peak in the 1999-2000 season, winning the Serie A and the Coppa Italia.
2002
However, from this point on, the club entered a dark era. In recent years, the club had only made large-scale reinforcements, but its finances deteriorated, and they released their main players.Due to extreme financial difficulties, they implemented austerity measures, and disappeared from the top ranks in Serie A, becoming a mid-ranked club. Masu. After that, although they won the cup competition, they were unable to win the Serie A title and did not appear in the UEFA Champions League. They are still considered a mid-tier club in Serie A and are regulars in the UEFA Europa League.
Lazio nickname
Lazio’s nickname is Biancocelesti (white and light blue) or Aquilotti (eagle cub). Lazio’s emblem features an eagle. Because of this, it is also nicknamed the eagle cub. The eagle on the emblem is based on the “double-headed eagle” of the Byzantine Empire, with a shining golden eagle placed at the top.
seven sisters
Lazio was also known as the Seven Sisters. The Seven Sisters are Juventus, Milan, Inter, Lazio, Parma, Roma and Fiorentina. There was a time from the late 1990s to the early 2000s when the emerging powers Fiorentina, Parma, and Lazio made major reinforcements and joined the championship battle due to the expanding bubble of the calcio business. Under Sergio Cragnotti of major food manufacturer Cilio, Lazio made major reinforcements and rapidly became stronger.
However, the soccer bubble burst and the country went bankrupt due to excessive investment and loose finances. All clubs other than the traditional Big Three faced financial difficulties, and the structure of the Seven Sisters collapsed. After this, it became an era of three powerhouses: Juventus, AC Milan, and Inter.
