Historical Timeline

Year 1908 - Foundation at La Pergola restaurant

On July 28, 1908, at the 'La Pergola' restaurant in Lugano, about twenty fans and athletes from the Ticino region founded Football Club Lugano. Led by Ernesto Corsini (elected first president) and a steering committee made up of Achille Borella, Mario Borella, Silvio Dell'Ambrogio, and Antonio Bossi, the club was born with the mission of providing autonomous and federated football representation to the Italian-speaking community in the Swiss championship. They adopted black and white (bianconeri) as their representative colors with the traditional white 'V' on the chest, establishing their first playing field at San Nicolao in Besso.

Year 1931 - First Swiss Cup and triumphant baptism of Ticino

On May 10, 1931, FC Lugano achieved the first great sporting feat for the canton of Ticino by being crowned champion of the Swiss Cup at the Letzigrund Stadium in Zurich. Against the highly-ranked Grasshopper Club, Lugano won 2-1 in extra time with goals from Aldo Poretti and Gabriele Sturzenegger, breaking the dominance of German-Swiss clubs and becoming the first club from Italian-speaking Switzerland to lift an official national title.

Year 1938-1949 - The golden era of the three League championships

Between 1938 and 1949, FC Lugano experienced its period of greatest glory and consistency in the top tier of Swiss football by winning three National A League titles (1937/38, 1940/41, and 1948/49). With a defense led by legendary goalkeeper Renato Bizzozero and the offensive power of Lauro Amadò and Alessandro Frigerio, the bianconeri team dominated the Swiss competition during the years of World War II, consolidating the Stadio Comunale of Cornaredo as an impregnable stronghold.

Year 1995 - The historic European night at San Siro eliminating Inter

On October 31, 1995, FC Lugano achieved one of the most resounding triumphs by a Swiss club in European cups by eliminating FC Internazionale of Milan in the round of 32 of the 1995/96 UEFA Cup. After drawing 1-1 in the first leg in Cornaredo, the team led by Roberto Morinini silenced the mythical San Siro stadium by winning 1-0 thanks to a formidable free-kick shot by Chilean forward Eduardo Carrasco in the 85th minute, knocking out the Italian giant captained by Javier Zanetti and Roberto Carlos.

Year 2022 - Swiss Cup champion after 29 years and return to Europe

On May 15, 2022, under the technical direction of Mattia Croci-Torti, FC Lugano ended a 29-year drought without elite titles by being crowned champion of the 2021/22 Swiss Cup at the Wankdorf Stadium in Bern. With an outstanding tactical display, the bianconeri team thrashed FC St. Gallen 4-1 with goals from Žan Celar, Olivier Custodio, Mattia Bottani, and Maren Haile-Selassie. The title opened a virtuous cycle that returned the club to the group stages of UEFA European competitions.
