UC Sampdoria is a legendary Italian football club based in Genoa, currently playing in Serie B following relegation in the 2022-23 season. The club plays at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris, which it shares with rivals Genoa. Founded in 1946 from the merger of two older clubs, Sampdoria's iconic blue, white, red, and black kit is one of the most recognizable in football. The club's golden era arrived in the late 1980s and early 1990s under coach Vujadin Boškov, with a legendary team featuring Gianluca Vialli, Roberto Mancini, and Attilio Lombardo. This squad won the club's only Serie A title in 1990-91, the Coppa Italia four times, and the European Cup Winners' Cup in 1990, also reaching the European Cup final in 1992. The modern era has been turbulent, with financial problems leading to instability and a drop to the second division. The current project focuses on rebuilding with youth and experienced heads to return to Serie A. The passionate "Samp" fans, known as *blucerchiati*, remain fiercely loyal. Sampdoria is a club with a glorious past and a determined focus on the future.
