History
UC Sampdoria, founded in 1946 in Genoa and Liguria, is a national football reference and a marked continental presence. Known as Blucerchiati, it collected 1990-91 Scudetto, Coppa Italia and the 1992 European Cup final. Rivalry with Genoa (Derby della Lanterna) and a blue, white, red and black identity shape fans and narrative. Stadio Luigi Ferraris, local support and Mantovani/Vialli/Mancini era and Luigi Ferraris sustain the contemporary project. Youth work, management and competitive ambition define the current cycle against historic rivals. The sporting project balances a memory of triumphs with the demands of the modern elite.
