During their long history, Genoa have won the Italian Football Championship nine times. Genoa's first title came at the inaugural championship in 1898 and their last was in 1923–24. They also won the Coppa Italia once. Historically, Genoa is the fourth most successful Italian club in terms of championships won.
This slew of early successes may lie at the origin of the love professed for the team by the godfather of Italian sports journalists Gianni Brera (1919–1992), who, despite having been born nowhere near Genoa, always declared himself a supporter of the team. Brera went as far as creating the nickname Vecchio Balordo (Old Fool or Cranky Old One) for Genoa.
The club has played its home games at the 36,536 capacity Stadio Luigi Ferraris since 1911. Since 1946, the ground has been shared with local rivals Sampdoria. Genoa has spent most of its post-war history going up and down between Serie A and Serie B, with also a brief spell in Serie C. After a long story of bad management and an alleged corruption-related scandal, Genoa is now back playing in Serie A, securing a UEFA Europa League placement at the end of the 2008–09 season.<\/P>","1CD1A53514962B6A":"1","32EED5AE2B03C17AE9CE11F4F5F2936F":"Genoa CFC","56D1193A280251FE":"Genoa CFC","37FE64B882E92ECB":"Genoa CFC","03A7D9C89753B0D1380A64764519199FB9772FF9B422CB1E":"1","9770E443802D7F63":"25.55","23A207CDBA5674BBB1C9F6E64605564A":"Daniele De Rossi","4852A99C0B1E8B281F768BF6F7769914":"AS Roma,Spal","F84B1B8AF3973AEE":"1","34A0AE9CBA0644B6":"http:\/\/www.genoacfc.it","3D3B712BD7BB3346233C27994E5E2815":"1983-7-24","A71E2A228B763CFB":"Genoa","84FBAAA541406939DA36722337FBDFD18D691C310C47982D":"1893-9-7","90CF36599B563A1AA6EE0398DF07A98F":"Via Garibaldi, 3 - 16124 Genoa","0EB6A015033C3CEC56DA30D47F1CA55E":"
