Torino Football Club

Torino Football Club (Italian pronunciation: [to'ri?no]), commonly referred to as Torino or simply Toro, is an Italian professional football club based in Turin. They currently play in Serie A.

Founded as Foot-Ball Club Torino in 1906, Torino are among the most successful clubs in Italy with seven league titles, including five consecutive league titles during the 1940s. The Grande Torino, as the team was known, was widely recognised as one of the strongest footballing sides of the period, until the entire team was killed in the 1949 Superga air disaster.

History

Torino was founded on December 3, 1906, by a group of students from the Massimo d'Azeglio Technical Institute in Turin. The club's first president was Ferruccio Novo.

Torino won their first league title in 1927, and went on to win five consecutive titles between 1942 and 1947. The team was known as the Grande Torino, and was considered one of the best in the world.

On May 4, 1949, the entire Grande Torino team was killed in a plane crash on the Superga mountain. The crash was a major tragedy for Italian football, and Torino took several years to recover.

Torino won their seventh league title in 1976, and have since played in Serie A most seasons. They have also won the Coppa Italia five times, and the Coppa Italia Serie C once.
