Fiorentina 2026 centenary celebrations
Entities: Giunti · Rocco B. Commisso Viola Park · Fiorentina Legends · ACF Fiorentina · Artemio Franchi Stadium
Overview
In late July 2026 the Italian football club ACF Fiorentina began marking its 100‑year anniversary. On 22 July the club unveiled a limited‑edition commemorative stamp featuring its purple shirt and lily emblem, released in a run of 300,015 copies. The ceremony in Bagno a Ripoli also recalled the historic 9 September 1959 exhibition match against Real Madrid, which Fiorentina won 2‑0.
A week later, on 31 July, Fiorentina announced a broader programme of centenary events. The schedule includes a celebratory show with light displays and historic footage at the Artemio Franchi stadium after the Serie A match on 29 August, a “Legends” match on 2 September, exhibitions at the Rocco B. Commisso Viola Park, the release of a commemorative stamp, a centenary coin minted by the State Mint, and a history book published by Giunti. Further details are to be released progressively throughout the centenary season.
