The story of FC Internazionale Milano, commonly known as Inter, is one of global inclusivity, passion, and a tradition of excellence. Founded on March 9, 1908, the club emerged as a breakaway from the Milan Cricket and Football Club (now AC Milan). A group of dissident members, led by Giorgio Muggiani, disagreed with Milan's policy of excluding foreign players and decided to create a team that embraced players from all nations.
This vision is captured in the club's name, "Internazionale," reflecting its commitment to internationalism.
The club adopted the colors black and blue, symbolizing the night and the sky, and soon became one of the highlight in football. The founding principle of welcoming talent regardless of origin and race became a defining feature of Inter's identity.
Since its inception, Inter has built a legacy of success in Italy and on the global stage. It is the only Italian club to have never been relegated from Serie A, consistently competing at the highest level. Over the years, the team has won numerous domestic and international trophies, including:
20 Serie A titles
9 Coppa Italia titles
3 Champions League titles
3 UEFA Cups
2 Intercontinental Cups
1 FIFA Club World Cup
True to its name, Inter has been a hub for international players throughout its history. Some of the world's greatest footballers, from all continents, have donned the black and blue jersey. This diverse roster has contributed to the club's dynamic style of play and global appeal, making it a symbol of cultural and athletic integration.
Inter's ethos of inclusivity resonates with millions of fans worldwide. The club's supporters, known as "Nerazzurri," celebrate the team's rich history and embrace its motto, "Fratelli del mondo" (Brothers and Sisters of the world). This universal connection has made Inter one of the most beloved clubs in global football.
Inter continues to thrive as a club that balances tradition with innovation. While celebrating its storied past, the team remains focused on success in the modern era, competing in Italy and Europe with a roster that reflects the club's international spirit. From its foundation to today, Inter represents the belief that football is a universal language that transcends borders.
