Cesena

Cesena are a club that Italian football carries a warm and genuine affection for, a team from the Emilia-Romagna city of Cesena who competed across 13 Serie A seasons and made European football feel achievable from even the smallest Italian cities. Founded in 1940, Cesena achieved their finest Serie A finish of 6th place in 1975-76 and appeared in the UEFA Cup the following season. After going bankrupt in 2018, the club was reborn as Cesena FC and rose from Serie D all the way back to Serie B, completing one of the most determined and celebrated rebuilds in modern Italian football.

AC Cesena were founded in 1940 and play at Stadio Dino Manuzzi in Cesena, Emilia-Romagna. The modern Cesena FC competes in Serie B. Their colours are black and white, earning them the nickname Bianconeri. Their best Serie A finish was 6th place in 1975-76.

Black and white are the proud colours of Cesena, the Bianconeri of Romagna, and their history across multiple Serie A stints has produced a range of kits that capture each distinct era of the club's story. The 1970s Serie A shirts, worn when Cesena were genuinely competing in European football, are the most celebrated in the club's kit history. The phoenix shirts of the 2018-19 Serie D season, worn as the rebuilt club began their long climb back to professional football, carry their own profound and very different kind of meaning.
