Pro Vercelli: the story of a legendary club
Hello everyone! Today I want to talk to you about Football Club Pro Vercelli 1892, an Italian football team with unique and historical origins.
The origins of the Società Ginnastica Pro Vercelli
The history of Pro Vercelli begins back in 1887, when Società Ginnastica Pro Vercelli was founded and affiliated with Federazione Ginnastica d'Italia on July 11, 1892. However, it wasn't until 1903 that the team became a football section within the society.
Arrival in the top division and the first championships
Despite a difficult start, the small club quickly showed great progress, winning the Second Category championship. In 1908, the team succeeded in winning their first Scudetto by defeating Juventus in the regional eliminations and then beating Unione Sportiva Milanese and Genoese team Società Ginnastica Andrea Doria in the final. On May 2, 1908, by conquering the field of U.S. Milanese, the whites won their first, historic title and the accompanying "Coppa Romolo Buni". The following year, the Pro Vercelli won their second championship, confirming themselves as one of Italy's most competitive football teams.
The uniqueness of Pro Vercelli
Pro Vercelli is the only Italian team that is not based in a regional capital city. In addition, when the team won their first championships, Vercelli was part of the province of Novara, making it the first team to win the national title from a non-regional capital province. This record still stands undefeated.
The re-foundations of Pro Vercelli
Throughout its long history, Pro Vercelli has undergone several re-foundations. The latest came in 2010 when the local sports association of Associazione Sportiva Pro Belvedere Vercelli acquired the historic "Unione Sportiva Pro Vercelli" name and declared themselves as continuing the club's sporting tradition.
The sporting tradition of Pro Vercelli
Pro Vercelli is one of the oldest and most successful clubs in Italy, having won seven Italian football championships between 1908 and 1922. Additionally, the team has six participations in Serie A (in a single season format) (between 1929 and 1935) and 13 in Serie B. With its legendary history, Pro Vercelli ranks 58th in the ranking of the sporting traditions of Italian football clubs.
Conclusion
Pro Vercelli is not just a football team, but it is a piece of history. Its uniqueness and historical background make it even more special. It's no wonder that the club is considered a true legend of Italian football. If you have the chance, go to Vercelli and visit the club's stadium. It's like taking a step back into football's past.
