Fiorentina 2026 centenary celebrations

Overview

In late July 2026, ACF Fiorentina began marking its 100-year anniversary, unveiling a commemorative stamp and announcing a programme of events including a “Legends” match and a centenary coin.

On 28 August, festivities at the Stadio Artemio Franchi included appearances by legends such as Gabriel Batistuta and Rui Costa, though celebrations were overshadowed by a 3-0 home defeat against Frosinone. On 2 September, the club held its scheduled “Legends” match, where a Fiorentina All Stars team defeated the Operazione Nostalgia Legends 7-3. The match featured goals from Batistuta, Luca Toni, Adrian Mutu, and Giampaolo Pazzini, alongside icons such as Francesco Totti, Roberto Baggio, and Javier Zanetti. During the celebrations, Batistuta expressed a “deep emotional connection” to the city and the club’s supporters.

Amidst these celebrations, the club is undergoing a significant squad overhaul under manager Fabio Grosso. Following 28 departures, the roster has shifted toward international diversity, with players arriving from Brazil, Romania, France, Spain, Ivory Coast, Portugal, Argentina, the Netherlands, and Guinea-Bissau. Only one new signing, Willy Gnonto, is Italian. Recent additions include Pedro Gonçalves and Brazilian defender Viery, who recently made his official Serie A debut as a substitute during the loss to Frosinone. Following a difficult start to the season that included losses to Roma and Frosinone, the club currently sits with zero points and is looking to stabilize its performance in upcoming fixtures.
