Societa Sportiva Lazio was initially established as a multi-sports club in 1900. The founders canoed and swam in the Tiber in summer, while running over the cooler winter months.

One of the most prominent figures, Luigi Bigiarelli, was a graduate of a revered branch of the Italian Army, the Bersaglieri. The eagle was chosen as Lazio’s emblem thanks to its association with pride and grace, while it was also the symbol of ancient Roman military legions. The sky blue colours were inspired by the home of the first modern Olympics, Greece.

Football was introduced to the club the year after it was founded, but Lazio competed at amateur level until joining the national championship in 1912. Success was hard to come by against the northern superpowers, which led to most of the major clubs in Rome joining forces in 1927 in order to compete. Lazio, however, were the one club to refuse the merger, which gave birth to AS Roma.

Serie A would begin two years later, with Lazio’s best pre-war effort their second-place finish in 1937. There was also a runners-up finish in the prestigious Europa Cup, with the Biancocelesti spearheaded by the legendary Silvio Piola. It would take Lazio until 1974 to finally win Serie A though, with their second and still most recent title triumph coming in 2000.

There has been significant success in the Coppa Italia though, which Le Aquile have won on seven occasions. The first of those was back in 1958, with the second coming exactly 40 years later. The 2000s have brought five more cups so far, while Lazio have also lifted the Supercoppa Italiana on five occasions. In Europe, the capital club have tasted success in the UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup, in 1999, before beating Champions League winners Manchester United to claim the UEFA Super Cup later that year.

Lazio are famous for sharing their Stadio Olimpico home with bitter rivals Roma. The famous stadium opened back in 1937 and has been the Biancocelesti’s home ground ever since, bar the occasional spell away during renovation work. Both Roman outfits have threatened to strike out on their own over the years, but neither have been able to follow through with that just yet.

Le Aquile’s iconic sky blue shirts means the Lazio kit is recognised around the world. The latest Lazio kit news is always a hot topic, with fans desperate to see how their beloved Biancocelesti progress. You can see the new Lazio kit as soon as it drops right here with Football Italia. Whether you’re hoping for a classic design or modern twist next, you’ll find the latest Lazio kit release right here as it happens.

From first-ever captain Sante Ancherani to record appearance maker and current defender Stefan Radu, Lazio have had their fair share of club heroes over the years. Alessandro Nesta goes down as one of Italy’s greatest ever defenders, while the likes of Sinisa Mihajlovic, Giuseppe Favalli and goalkeeper Angelo Peruzzi have all defended the Biancocelesti goal with distinction across the club’s history.

At the other end of the pitch, the aforementioned Silvio Piola needs no introduction among Aquile fans. The Italian great was only overtaken as Lazio’s record goalscorer in 2021-22 by Ciro Immobile. Beppe Signori, Giorgio Chinaglia and Bruno Giordano also go down among Lazio’s greatest ever goalscorers.

The club’s top foreign goalscorer is North Macedonian Goran Pandev, with German Miroslav Klose only one behind. Christian Vieri, Juan Sebastien Veron and Diego Simone also rank among Lazio’s best ever players, while the same has to go for English legend Paul Gascoigne. Gazza’s move to Rome in 1992 brought a whole new legion of British fans to Serie A, predominantly through watching the immensely popular Football Italia show on Channel 4.

The current Lazio coach is former Empoli, Napoli, Chelsea and Juventus boss Maurizio Sarri. He took over from Inter-bound Simone Inzaghi in June 2021, with the likes of Marcelo Bielsa and Stefano Pioli also taking charge of the Biancocelesti in recent years. A host of other top names have sat in the Stadio Olimpico dugout over the decades, including former Lazio player Roberto Mancini, Alberto Zaccheroni, Dino Zoff and Sven-Goran Eriksson.

Eriksson won Le Aquile’s second Scudetto in 2000 with the likes of Mancini, Mihajlovic, Nesta, Simeone, Inzaghi and Veron in the squad - along with Pavel Nedved, Fabrizio Ravanelli, Marcelo Salas, Dejan Stankovic, Alen Boksic and Attilio Lombardo - before leaving for the England national team. Tommaso Maestrelli, meanwhile, was the man who delivered the club’s first title in 1974.

Lazio have an intense rivalry with Stadio Olimpico co-inhabitants Roma. The two clubs contest the Derby della Capitale each season in one of world football’s most heated local derbies. Lazio and their famous ultras also have fierce rivalries with Napoli and Livorno, in addition to Atalanta and Pescara. There are also rivalries with other large clubs such as Juventus, Milan and Fiorentina.
