Società Sportiva Lazio, commonly referred to as Lazio, is one of Italy's most historic and successful football clubs, based in Rome and competing in Serie A. Founded in 1900, the club plays its home matches at the iconic Stadio Olimpico, which it shares with rivals AS Roma. The team's colors are sky blue and white. Lazio's history is rich with periods of great success, most notably the Scudetto-winning season of 1973-74 and the extraordinary era under Sven-Göran Eriksson from 1997-2002, which yielded a second Serie A title in 2000, multiple Coppa Italia triumphs, and the last European Cup Winners' Cup in 1999. The modern era has seen Lazio consistently finish in the upper half of Serie A, regularly qualifying for European competitions, and adding more Coppa Italia and Supercoppa Italiana titles to their cabinet. The club is renowned for its passionate and sometimes controversial fanbase, known as the *Laziali*. With a strong squad often built around a core of experienced Italian internationals and shrewd signings, Lazio remains a formidable force in Italian football, forever defined by its rivalry with Roma in the Derby della Capitale.
