Buy Fiorentina tickets for the 2026/27 season and you are buying into the club's centenary year. Fiorentina were founded in 1926 and mark 100 years with a commemorative coin, a national stamp and a rebuilt Curva Fiesole, all while the Stadio Artemio Franchi remains a working construction site around them. Fabio Grosso takes charge after a 2025/26 campaign that came close to disaster.

Two things shape every purchase here. Capacity is well down on the nominal 43,000 while the renovation runs, and the ground is a listed Pier Luigi Nervi monument that cannot simply be knocked about to suit a builder's timetable. Everything below covers which sectors are actually open, what resale prices look like, how the works affect a matchday and where every home and away league fixture can be found.
The Franchi has been under renovation since 2024 and the effect on availability is direct. Nominal capacity is 43,147, but with the Curva Fiesole rebuilt and roofing works progressing across the Maratona and the main stand, the number of seats actually on sale has run far below that, at times closer to 24,000. The club has been working towards restoring roughly 35,000 as the covered Fiesole comes back for the centenary.
That squeeze lands on a club with a large and loyal season ticket base. When a ground loses close to half its seats, the abbonamento does not shrink proportionally, so the pool left for single-match sale takes almost the whole hit. For the visits of Juventus, Inter, Milan and Napoli there is very little reaching general sale at all.
A resale marketplace is where that shortfall gets met. Season ticket holders miss individual matches, plans change and seats return to circulation from people who committed to a full campaign. Buying this way also lets you fix a specific sector at a specific price months ahead, which matters more than usual at a ground where which stands are open has been a moving target for two seasons.
1BoxOffice has traded as a ticket marketplace since 2006, which covers most of the modern history of online football resale. That length of trading matters for a purchase where the product often does not reach your hands until the week of the match. Sellers are verified before their inventory goes live, and every confirmed order carries a guarantee that pays out well above what you spent if something goes wrong.
For a Florence trip the value is certainty in a season where the stadium itself keeps changing. You can see the sector, the quantity available and the price before committing, and you can compare several listings for the same fixture side by side. Delivery progress is trackable from the moment the order confirms.
Fiorentina draw from a city of 360,000 and a region that treats the club as its own, and they have done so through relegations, bankruptcies and a decade of mid-table football. Attendances hold up in seasons when results do not, which is why a reduced-capacity ground during a renovation still sells out fixtures that would sit available elsewhere.
Demand still moves in waves through the season, and knowing which fixtures compress a month of interest into one date is most of the work. The drivers below are the ones that actually move availability in Florence.
The practical conclusion is that Florence has become a harder ticket than its league position suggests, and the reason is the building rather than the team. Until the renovation finishes, planning early matters more here than at most clubs of comparable size.
Resale pricing at the Franchi is driven by the opponent, the sector and the reduced supply the works have created. Club face values for a single match have run in the region of £30 to £130 depending on the fixture and the sector, but face value is often academic because so little reaches open sale for the bigger dates. The 2026/27 calendar runs from late August 2026 to the end of May 2027.
Timing behaves conventionally for the mid-table fixtures and less so for the marquee ones. Listings are thinnest and dearest in the fortnight after the calendar is published and again in the final week, with a softer window in between. For Juventus, Inter and Milan the reduced capacity means prices tend to hold or harden rather than easing as the date approaches.
The bands below reflect typical resale ranges across a season rather than any individual listing. They are quoted in pounds because that is how the marketplace prices, and they will not always map neatly onto euro face values given the supply position.
| Type of Ticket | Typical Price Range (GBP) |
|---|---|
| Serie A (standard fixtures) | £50 – £180 |
| Serie A (high-demand fixtures) | £120 – £500+ |
| Coppa Italia (early rounds) | £25 – £80 |
| Coppa Italia (later rounds) | £45 – £180 |
| Hospitality / VIP | £280 – £1,400+ |
Prices reflect typical resale ranges and may change as demand and availability shift.
Yes. Fiorentina do not gate general sale behind a paid membership, and anyone can buy through the club's own channels or through resale without one. A free account on the club's ticketing platform covers home purchases, and the fidelity card exists to buy priority access rather than eligibility.
What the card changes is timing, and in a reduced-capacity ground timing is close to everything. Cardholders get a presale window before general release, which for the visits of Juventus, Inter, Milan and Napoli is frequently where the available seats go. The card is also the route to away allocations through club channels, functioning as Fiorentina's version of the Tessera del Tifoso.
The obstacle for anyone outside Tuscany is therefore the calendar rather than the card. Single-match sales open close to the fixture, which is unusable if you are booking flights and a hotel in Florence months ahead. Resale removes that dependency entirely, and the sector you choose is the sector you get. Read each listing for notes on name matching or collection before committing, because Italian grounds check identity against the ticket at the gate.
Fiorentina's season ticket base has held up through two seasons of building work, which is a genuine test of loyalty when the sector you have sat in for years may be closed or relocated. Renewal has run in phases each summer with existing holders given pre-emption, and the club has had to reallocate seats as stands have come in and out of use.
Pricing is set by sector and the spread is wide, from the curva to the covered central seating beneath Nervi's cantilevered roof. The ranges below reflect typical full-season resale and secondary-market bands rather than club list prices, which are published separately each summer and have shifted with the available capacity.
| Season Ticket Area | Typical Full-Season Range (GBP) | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Curva Fiesole | £270 – £400 | Home ultras end, rebuilt and roofed as part of the works. The hardest sector to enter from outside. |
| Maratona | £330 – £500 | The long side beneath the 70-metre Marathon Tower. Good value with a clear view of the whole pitch. |
| Tribuna laterale | £480 – £700 | Covered main stand away from the halfway line, under the celebrated cantilevered roof. |
| Tribuna centrale | £700 – £1,000 | Covered central seating on the halfway line, the strongest sightlines in the ground. |
| Premium and hospitality | £1,500 – £2,800+ | Central seating with lounge access across the season. Limited inventory, reduced further by the works. |
The Franchi is one of the most architecturally significant grounds in world football and that shapes the seating in ways a modern stadium's does not. Pier Luigi Nervi designed it in 1931 with a cantilevered roof over the main stand supported by no pillars at all, helical staircases at the corners and a 70-metre tower above the Maratona side. It is a protected monument, which is exactly why bringing it up to modern standards has taken so long.
| Stand / Area | Best For | Price Bracket | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Curva Fiesole | Atmosphere, singing, banners | Lowest | Home of the Fiorentina ultras and the loudest part of the ground. Rebuilt and roofed during the works. Expect to stand throughout. |
| Tribuna centrale | Sightlines and shelter | Highest general admission | Covered central seating under Nervi's cantilevered roof, on the halfway line. The natural choice for a first visit. |
| Tribuna laterale | Balance of cover and price | Mid to high | Covered but towards the corners, with a compressed angle on the far side of the pitch. |
| Maratona | Value with a full view | Mid | The opposite long side, beneath the Marathon Tower. Historically uncovered, with roofing part of the current programme. |
| Curva Ferrovia | Away support and lower-priced seating | Low to mid | The end nearest the railway station, which houses visiting supporters. Confirm which portion a listing refers to before buying. |
| Corner sectors | Availability when the rest has gone | Varies | Angled views from behind the corner flags. Often the last seats left for a high-demand fixture. |
This section exists because the Franchi will be a construction site for the whole of 2026/27 and it affects what you buy rather than only what you look at. The project began in 2024, has been repeatedly delayed and is now projected to run to 2029, with roughly £47 million allocated against a scope that needs considerably more. Fiorentina rejected proposals to move temporarily to the Stadio Padovani and are staying put throughout.
For a buyer the practical points are which stands are open, what capacity applies and whether the sector on your listing still exists in the configuration you expect. The table below sets out what has been happening and what to check.
| Detail | What to Expect |
|---|---|
| Capacity during works | Nominal capacity is 43,147. Availability during the renovation has run far below that, at times nearer 24,000, with the club targeting around 35,000 as the rebuilt Curva Fiesole returns. |
| Curva Fiesole | Demolished and rebuilt with a roof, targeted for completion during 2026. This is the sector whose closure removed the most seats from sale. |
| Maratona and Tribuna | Roofing works and foundation preparation have progressed across both, which has meant partial closures and relocated seating at various points. |
| Timeline | Originally targeted for 2026, now projected to complete in 2029 amid pressure to be ready for Euro 2032. The ground remains a working site throughout the centenary season. |
| What to check before buying | Confirm the sector named on the listing is open for that fixture. Configurations have changed between seasons and occasionally within them. |
Away travel from Florence is among the easiest in Italy, with Santa Maria Novella on the high-speed spine and most of the country inside three hours. Italian away rules still apply. Allocations are small, sales through club channels require the fidelity card and prefectural decrees can restrict or close sales by province of residence at short notice.
| Away Detail | What to Expect |
|---|---|
| Typical allocation | Several hundred to a few thousand depending on the host ground and risk classification. Fiorentina travel in numbers for the fixtures that matter. |
| Away section location | The settore ospiti at the host stadium, usually an upper tier or corner segregated from home support. At the Franchi visitors take the Curva Ferrovia. |
| Access requirements | An active fidelity card is needed for away sales through club channels, serving as Fiorentina's Tessera del Tifoso equivalent. No card is required for home general sale. |
| Residency restrictions | Certain fixtures limit sales to supporters not resident in the province of Florence, or close the away sector entirely. Confirm the current decree before booking travel. |
| Transport notes | Bologna, Milan, Rome, Naples, Turin and Genoa are all straightforward by rail from Santa Maria Novella. Lecce and Cagliari realistically mean flying from Peretola or Pisa. |
Deciding what you want from the evening narrows the field quickly at the Franchi, and the renovation has made cover a sharper consideration than it used to be. Florence is warm in August and genuinely cold and wet in January, and not every sector has a roof over it yet.
| Priority | Best Option | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Atmosphere | Curva Fiesole, lower blocks | The drums, the banners and the singing all start here and run for the full match. The rebuilt and roofed curva has changed how the sound behaves, holding it in rather than letting it escape. |
| View of the play | Tribuna centrale | Halfway line, covered by Nervi's pillarless cantilever, with the clearest angle in the ground. The easiest sector from which to read how Grosso sets the side up. |
| Family-friendly | Tribuna laterale or Maratona | Seated support throughout with calmer surroundings. The laterale adds a roof, which matters for a midweek fixture in the winter. |
| Premium experience | Central Tribuna or a hospitality package | Central seating with catering and lounge access before and after the match. Inventory is limited and reduced further by the works, so book early. |
| Architecture | Maratona | The only sector that puts the Marathon Tower and the helical staircases in your eyeline. For a first visit to a Nervi building it is worth more than a marginally better sightline. |
The Stadio Artemio Franchi opened in 1931 as the Stadio Giovanni Berta and is one of the defining works of twentieth-century sports architecture. Pier Luigi Nervi designed it in reinforced concrete when the material was still novel for public buildings, and three features made his name: the cantilevered roof over the main stand carried on no pillars, the helical staircases spiralling at the corners and the 70-metre Torre di Maratona above the far side. It is a protected monument and is studied by architects who have never watched a football match.
Nominal capacity is 43,147, though the number actually on sale has been well below that since 2024. The bowl is close to the pitch on three sides with a running track heritage that has largely been designed out, and the ground sits in the Campo di Marte district about two kilometres east of the historic centre rather than out on a ring road. That location is part of why the redevelopment has been so constrained: there is a functioning neighbourhood on every side.
Atmosphere is concentrated in the Curva Fiesole, named for the hill town visible beyond it, where the organised support has gathered for decades. The rebuild has given it a roof for the first time, which changes the acoustics in the club's favour. The Curva Ferrovia at the opposite end takes its name from the railway line behind it and houses visiting supporters, which is the detail first-time buyers most often get wrong.
Getting there is simple by Italian standards. Campo di Marte railway station sits a few minutes' walk away and connects to Santa Maria Novella in under ten minutes, and buses run from the centre in around twenty. The walk from the Duomo takes roughly thirty-five minutes through residential Florence rather than the tourist core, which most visiting supporters end up preferring. Parking near the ground is limited and the surrounding streets restrict traffic on matchdays.
Pre-match happens in the centre rather than around the stadium, because Campo di Marte is residential and has few bars. Florence being Florence, the eating is the point: supporters gather in the Sant'Ambrogio and Santa Croce quarters before heading east. The club store and ticket collection points sit at the ground, and the walk in along Viale Manfredo Fanti fills steadily from about ninety minutes out.
Matchday entry follows the standard Italian pattern. Tickets are personalised, a valid photo identity document is checked against the name at the turnstile and there is no left-luggage facility. Given the renovation, allow more time than the size of the crowd suggests, because temporary routing around the works has changed the approach to some sectors. Full detail on the ground sits on the Stadio Artemio Franchi tickets page, and the Franchi seating plan breaks the sectors down before you choose.
Hospitality at the Franchi is concentrated in the central covered section of the Tribuna, with lounge space behind it. The renovation has reduced the inventory further, so availability is the binding constraint rather than price, and packages for the marquee fixtures tend to be committed long before the fixture arrives.
For a supporter travelling from abroad for a single fixture the appeal is practical as well as indulgent. You get central covered seating, catering included and somewhere indoors before kick-off and after full time, which matters at a ground where roofing works are still in progress across parts of the bowl. The bands below reflect typical resale ranges across a season.
| Package | What It Includes | Typical Price Range (GBP) |
|---|---|---|
| Premium seating | Padded central seats in the covered Tribuna with a dedicated entrance and access to the hospitality concourse | £280 – £550 |
| Hospitality lounge | Central seating with full dining before the match, bar service and a private indoor space at half time | £500 – £950 |
| Executive box | Private space for a small group with indoor viewing, outdoor seats and waiter service throughout | £900 – £1,400+ |
| Matchday experience packages | Premium seating combined with extras such as a stadium visit or a pre-match meal at a partner venue where offered | £350 – £800 |
Buying through a marketplace is a short process, and at Fiorentina one step matters more than it would elsewhere: confirming the sector on your listing is actually open. The renovation has moved seats and closed stands across two seasons. Work through the eight steps below and you will have covered what commonly goes wrong.
Step1
Start from the fixture
Availability and price differ enormously between a mid-table Sunday afternoon and the visit of Juventus, so begin with the specific match rather than the club. The home and away fixture lists further down this page take you straight to each one.
Step2
Sign in or set up an account
An account keeps your order history, contact details and delivery preferences in one place. If you do not have one you can create an account in a couple of minutes, and it makes tracking and support far simpler later on.
Step3
Check the sector is open
This is the step specific to the Franchi while the works run. Stands have been closed, roofed and reallocated across two seasons, so confirm the sector named on your listing is in use for that fixture rather than assuming last season's layout still applies.
Step4
Decide on cover as well as position
Not all of the ground is roofed yet. Curva Fiesole for noise, central Tribuna for the sightline and Nervi's cantilever overhead, Maratona for value and the view of the tower.
Step5
Compare the listings
Several sellers may hold seats in the same sector at different prices and quantities. Compare the per-ticket total rather than the headline figure, and confirm whether seats are guaranteed together if you are buying for a group.
Step6
Read the listing notes
This is the step people skip and later regret. Notes cover name matching, collection arrangements, restricted view and whether seats are adjacent, all of which carry more consequence in Italy than in most of Europe.
Step7
Complete secure checkout
Enter the lead attendee's details exactly as they appear on the identity document that person will carry. Serie A tickets are personalised and the name is checked at the turnstile, so a mismatch here is the single most common cause of trouble on the day.
Step8
Follow the delivery
Confirmation lands immediately and you can follow progress through track order at any point. Many Serie A seats are issued close to the fixture date, so a quiet stretch after purchase is normal rather than a warning sign.
One practical note for a ground under construction: allow more time on the approach than the crowd size suggests. Temporary routing around the works has changed how some sectors are reached, and the signage does not always keep pace with the builders.
With capacity reduced, more of the Franchi calendar behaves like a high-demand fixture than used to be the case. A handful of dates still stand apart, and if one of them is your reason for buying then acting early beats any amount of price comparison. The table below ranks the fixture types Fiorentina supporters chase hardest.
| Fixture Type | Why It Moves Fast |
|---|---|
| Juventus at the Franchi | The fixture that defines the season for a large part of the support, rooted in decades of contested title races and transfers that Florence has never forgiven. It clears faster than anything else on the calendar and prices accordingly. |
| Inter and Milan at home | Two of the largest travelling supports in Italian football arriving at a ground running below its nominal capacity. Both fill the away end immediately and push demand into every home sector. |
| Napoli and Roma at home | Two fixtures with large national followings and a long history of consequential meetings. They sell steadily rather than instantly but thin out well before matchday. |
| Tuscan and central derbies | Short-distance fixtures against regional opposition carry local weight and bring travelling support by rail in numbers the Curva Ferrovia cannot always hold. |
| Centenary fixtures | Dates the club has built into its 100th anniversary programme carry demand beyond the opponent. Anniversary matches attract supporters who attend rarely and buy early. |
Delivery depends on the seller and on how the seats were originally issued, and Serie A uses a mix of digital and physical systems. The method appears on the listing before you buy, so if one format suits your travel plans better than another you can filter for it at the point of choosing.
Whichever method applies, read the listing notes before completing the order. They carry the seller's specific instructions, including any name-matching requirement, and following them is the difference between a smooth entry and a conversation with a steward.
Arriving early matters more than usual while the renovation runs, because temporary routing has lengthened the walk to some sectors and the approach roads through Campo di Marte are narrow. Ninety minutes before kick-off is a sensible target for a league fixture and two hours for Juventus or a centenary date.
There is a second reason, which is that the Curva Fiesole builds long before the teams appear, with flags and drums from around 45 minutes out. In a rebuilt and now roofed curva the noise holds rather than escaping, and supporters who arrive ten minutes before kick-off miss the part of the evening regulars value most.
Serie A tickets are personalised and a valid photo identity document is checked against the name at the gate. The details entered at checkout therefore need to match the person carrying the seat, and a passport covers international visitors while a national identity card covers European supporters. The same document is needed if you are collecting rather than receiving digitally.
If your ticket is digital, charge the phone before you leave and save the barcode offline rather than relying on the network at the ground. Screen brightness matters as well, because scanners struggle with a dimmed display in daylight. Keep the ticket and the document together, since you will be asked for both within a few metres of each other.
There is no left-luggage facility at the Franchi, so anything you cannot carry through the turnstiles has to stay in the city. Only small bags are permitted and no precise dimension is published, so treat anything larger than a small handbag as a risk and use storage near Santa Maria Novella if you are arriving on a travel day.
Prohibited items follow the standard Italian model and are enforced at screening. Cans, glass, plastic bottles, alcohol brought from outside, flares, fireworks, laser pointers, umbrellas with pointed ends and large flags on double poles are all refused. With roofing works still in progress across parts of the ground, a hooded coat is the sensible answer for a winter fixture.

Fiorentina reach their centenary in 2026 with a record that reads oddly on paper: two league titles, six Coppa Italia wins and five lost European finals. This is a club defined as much by the finals it did not win as the trophies it did, and by a relationship with its city that has survived bankruptcy and refoundation. The eras below trace how the Viola got to 100.
The merger that created Fiorentina was a deliberate attempt to give Florence a club worthy of the city, and the stadium that followed five years later was the same instinct expressed in concrete. Nervi was 40 and largely unknown when he won the commission, and what he built became one of the most studied structures of the century. The 1940 Coppa Italia was a first taste of what the club could do.
This is the period Florence measures everything against. The 1956 side won the league without losing a match until the title was already secure, then reached the European Cup final the following year and lost to a Real Madrid team at the height of its powers. The 1961 Cup Winners' Cup remains the club's only European trophy, won in the competition's first season against Rangers. The 1969 Scudetto closed the era, and Fiorentina have not won the league since.
Antognoni played 429 matches for Fiorentina and never played for anyone else in Italy, which is why the club retired his number 10. The Baggio sale in 1990 is the other defining event of the era: Florence rioted, Baggio refused to take a penalty against Fiorentina and the transfer confirmed the rivalry with Juventus as something closer to a grievance. Batistuta then gave the 1990s their focal point across nine seasons. The 2002 bankruptcy wiped all of it away overnight and dropped the club to the fourth tier.
The refoundation is the reason Fiorentina supporters distinguish between the club and the corporate entity, and the speed of the climb back from Serie C2 says a great deal about the city's attachment. Commisso's arrival in 2019 brought stability, a new training centre at the Viola Park and the long fight to modernise the Franchi that still dominates the club's off-field agenda. Two lost Conference League finals in successive seasons added to a list of near misses that now runs to five European finals without a win since 1961.
Fiorentina have retired one shirt number, the 10 worn by Giancarlo Antognoni, and it tells you everything about how the club ranks loyalty. The figures below span the golden age, the Baggio and Batistuta years and the present squad.
| Legend | Role | Contribution | Milestones |
|---|---|---|---|
| Giancarlo Antognoni | Midfielder, 1972 to 1987 | Spent fifteen seasons and his entire Italian career at Fiorentina, playing through relegation scares and near misses without ever leaving. He is the reason the club retired its number 10 and remains the standard by which every Viola midfielder is judged. | Over 400 appearances, number 10 retired, World Cup winner 1982 |
| Gabriel Batistuta | Forward, 1991 to 2000 | Nine seasons and the club's all-time leading goalscorer, staying in Serie B after relegation in 1993 when he could have left for anywhere. A statue of him stands outside the ground, which few foreign players anywhere are given. | Club record goalscorer, Coppa Italia winner 1996 |
| Roberto Baggio | Forward, 1985 to 1990 | Arrived as a teenager recovering from a career-threatening injury and left as the most coveted player in Italy. His sale to Juventus in 1990 caused riots in Florence, and he later refused to take a penalty against the club. | Over 90 appearances, UEFA Cup finalist 1990 |
| Kurt Hamrin | Winger, 1958 to 1967 | Nine seasons on the right wing and second only to Batistuta on the club's scoring list, in a side that won two Coppa Italia titles and the Cup Winners' Cup. The Swede was among the most productive wide players in Europe in his era. | Over 200 goals for the club, Cup Winners' Cup winner 1961 |
| Giuliano Sarti | Goalkeeper, 1951 to 1963 | Kept goal for the 1956 title-winning side and through the Cup Winners' Cup win, conceding at a rate that underpinned everything the team did. He later won the European Cup twice with Inter. | Serie A title 1956, Cup Winners' Cup 1961 |
| Miguel Montuori | Forward, 1955 to 1961 | Signed from Chilean football and scored the goals that delivered the 1956 Scudetto in his first season. An eye injury ended his career early, which is why he is less known outside Florence than his impact deserves. | Serie A title 1956, European Cup finalist 1957 |
| Moise Kean | Forward, 2024 onwards | Arrived with a reputation to rebuild and became the most valuable player at the club, carrying the attack through a difficult 2025/26 campaign. He is the figure the centenary side is built around. | Leading scorer and most valuable asset in the current squad |
| David de Gea | Goalkeeper, 2024 onwards | Signed as a free agent after a year out of the game and rebuilt his career in Florence, taking the captaincy under Paolo Vanoli and keeping it under Fabio Grosso. A goalkeeper wearing the armband is unusual and says a good deal about the dressing room. | Club captain from 2025, retained by Grosso for the centenary season |
Fiorentina's honours list is stronger than a decade of mid-table finishes suggests, with two league titles and a European trophy among the haul. What defines it, though, is the list of finals lost: five in Europe, including two in the past four seasons. The counts below are drawn from the club's own honours record cross-referenced against independent football databases.
| Competition | Titles |
|---|---|
| Serie A | 2 (1955/56, 1968/69) |
| Coppa Italia | 6 (most recently 2000/01) |
| Supercoppa Italiana | 1 (1996) |
| UEFA Cup Winners' Cup | 1 (1960/61) |
| Mitropa Cup | 1 (1966) |
| Anglo-Italian League Cup | 1 (1974) |
| Serie B | 1 (1993/94) |
| European finals lost | 5 (1957 European Cup, 1962 Cup Winners' Cup, 1990 UEFA Cup, 2023 and 2024 Conference League) |
Fiorentina's rivalries are unusually intense for a club that has spent much of the modern era in mid-table, and the reason is that they are about grievance rather than proximity. One fixture dominates everything, a regional derby sits underneath it and the European ones are recent and raw.
The defining rivalry of this club and one of the most bitter in Italian football, rooted in the 1982 title race, a contested Coppa Italia final and above all the sale of Roberto Baggio to Turin in 1990, which brought supporters onto the streets of Florence. The 1990 UEFA Cup final between the two, played over two legs with the second at a neutral ground, deepened it further. Meetings are policed accordingly and the fixture is reliably the first home date of the season to clear.
The Tuscan derby, contested with a club twenty miles down the Arno, and one that matters far more locally than its profile suggests. It has the character of most small-distance derbies: a bigger club that treats defeat as unacceptable and a smaller one that treats victory as a season made. Empoli's league position determines whether it appears on the Serie A calendar in any given year, which makes the seasons it does more charged rather than less.
Contested across the mountain range dividing Tuscany from Emilia-Romagna, and sharpened over the past few seasons as both clubs have chased the same European places. Bologna's rise under Thiago Motta and Vincenzo Italiano turned a fixture that had drifted into something with genuine stakes again. The away sector fills for it in both directions and the travelling distance is short enough that demand exceeds allocation.
The oldest European wound. Fiorentina reached the 1957 European Cup final and lost 2-0 to Real Madrid in Madrid, in a match still argued about in Florence because of the penalty that opened the scoring. It was the club's first and so far only appearance in the senior European final, and it came against a Madrid side in the middle of five consecutive titles. The tie is the reference point for every European night the club has had since.
The modern equivalent, and the pairing that hurts most. Fiorentina reached the Conference League final in 2023 and lost to West Ham to a goal in the 90th minute in Prague, then reached it again in 2024 and lost to Olympiacos in extra time in Athens. Two European finals in successive seasons and two defeats took the club's record in continental finals to one win from six. Supporters have not forgotten either night.
| Season | Summary |
|---|---|
| 2021/22 | Vincenzo Italiano's first season delivered seventh place and a return to European football after a long absence, playing attacking football that reconnected the side with its support. Dušan Vlahović was sold to Juventus in January, which was received in Florence exactly as you would expect. The club still finished strongly enough to qualify for the Conference League. It set up the European runs that followed. |
| 2022/23 | An eighth-place league finish overshadowed by two cup runs. Fiorentina reached the Coppa Italia final and lost to Inter, then reached the Conference League final and lost to West Ham to a goal in the last minute in Prague. Two finals and two defeats in a single season became the defining experience of the Italiano era. The football was admired throughout. |
| 2023/24 | Another eighth-place finish and, remarkably, another two finals. Fiorentina lost the Coppa Italia semi-final and then the Conference League final again, this time to Olympiacos in extra time in Athens. Italiano left at the end of the season after three years and four finals without a trophy. Joe Barone, the club's director general, died suddenly in March, which overshadowed everything. |
| 2024/25 | Raffaele Palladino's only season produced a sixth-place finish and another Conference League campaign, ending in the semi-finals. The season was marked by Edoardo Bove's cardiac arrest during a match against Inter in December, from which he recovered. Palladino resigned in May despite having agreed a contract extension. Moise Kean's goals were the season's clearest positive. |
| 2025/26 | The most alarming season in years. Fiorentina went their opening 15 league matches without a win under Stefano Pioli, who was dismissed, and Paolo Vanoli took over in November with the club bottom of the table. Vanoli recovered the season to a fifteenth-place finish on 42 points and reached the Conference League quarter-finals before leaving in June. Fabio Grosso was appointed on a contract to 2028. |
Grosso inherits a squad rebuilt around Moise Kean and a set of loan signings that would look ambitious at a club two places higher. Franco Mastantuono arrived from Real Madrid, Radu Drăgușin from Tottenham and Álex Jiménez from Milan, with David de Gea captaining from goal. Market values below are approximate figures drawn from published football valuation data and converted to pounds, and they move continuously with form, age and contract length.

Yes. The ground remains a working construction site throughout the centenary season, with completion now projected for 2029 after repeated delays. Fiorentina rejected proposals to relocate temporarily and continue playing there, so confirm the sector on your listing is open for that fixture.
Away supporters take the Curva Ferrovia, the end nearest the railway line, opposite the home ultras in the Curva Fiesole. Allocations are modest and have been reduced further while the renovation runs.
Nominal capacity is 43,147, but availability during the renovation has run well below that, at times closer to 24,000, with the club working towards roughly 35,000 as the rebuilt Curva Fiesole returns. That reduction is the main reason resale prices have firmed.
Most Serie A seats are issued digitally in the days immediately before kick-off rather than at the point of purchase, so a quiet stretch after ordering is normal. Postal and collection listings carry their own timings, which the seller sets out on the listing itself.
It is Fiorentina's centenary, marking 100 years since the 1926 merger that created the club. The anniversary programme includes commemorative kits, a state coin, a postage stamp and events at the ground, which lifts demand for home fixtures beyond what the opponent alone would generate.
Whether you are planning a weekend in Florence or following the Viola through their hundredth year, Fiorentina tickets are listed on 1BoxOffice across every home and away fixture of the season. As a verified marketplace trading since 2006, every order carries a 150% money-back guarantee, so you can book months ahead with confidence. Compare the listings for your fixture, confirm the sector is open and settle it early, because a reduced-capacity ground in a centenary season leaves very little late.
