About Ravenna
Ravenna FC are a historic club from one of Italy's most culturally remarkable cities, founded in 1913 in the ancient Byzantine capital of Ravenna. The Giallorossi, playing in yellow and red, have spent over a century competing through Italy's professional leagues, earning stints in Serie B during the 1990s and 2000s. Playing at the Stadio Bruno Benelli, Ravenna carry the weight of a city that was once the seat of the Western Roman Empire, giving their football club a sense of history and civic pride rarely matched in the lower leagues of Italian football.
Ravenna FC were founded in 1913 and play at Stadio Bruno Benelli in Ravenna. They compete in Serie C and are nicknamed the Giallorossi (Yellow-Reds). The club won the Serie C1 title in 1993 to earn promotion to Serie B, where they spent several seasons in the late 1990s and early 2000s.
Yellow and red have been Ravenna's colours throughout their long history, the giallorosso combination a vivid reflection of the city's proud identity. Their home shirts in these two bold colours are classic examples of Italian provincial football at its most honest. The 1990s were Ravenna's golden era on the pitch. Winning the Serie C1 title in 1993 launched them into several seasons of Serie B football, and the well-crafted kits of that period by Italian manufacturers of the time now serve as cherished mementos of the club at the height of its powers.
