About Monza
AC Monza is an Italian association football club based in Monza. Monza currently competes in Serie A.
The club was formed in 1912 and recently they earned a promotion from Serie B to Serie A. They were declared bankrupt twice, in 2004 and 2015. Following Silvio Berlusconi’s 2018 takeover of the club, Monza returned to Serie B in 2020 and reached promotion to Serie A for the first time in 2022.
The team’s colours were blue and white but were changed to red and white. They are nicknamed i biancorossi (“the white and reds”).
Monza’s home ground is Stadio Brianteo. It has a capacity of 16,00. Silvio Berlusconi is the owner of the club.
Monza fans & rivals
Monza supporters are mainly from the city of Monza. The first signs of organised support emerged in the early-1970s with the founding of the ultras groups Commandos in 1971 and Club Ultras Monza in 1972.
Sampdoria’s biggest rivals are fellow Lombardy club Como, against whom they play the “hottest derby in Serie B”. Another important rivalry is the one with Pro Sesto, based in the adjacent city of Sesto San Giovanni.
