'''Parma Calcio 1913''' ({{IPA|it|ˈparma}}) is an Italian professional [[Association football|football]] [[List of football clubs in Italy|club]] based in [[Parma]], [[Emilia-Romagna]], which competes in the [[Serie A]], the top tier of [[Italian football league system|Italian league system]], following promotion from [[Serie B]] in the [[2023–24 Serie B|2023–24]] season.

''Parma Football Club'' was originally founded in December 1913, while the current [[Società per azioni|society]] dates back to 2015. The team has been playing its home matches at the 27,906-seat [[Stadio Ennio Tardini]], often referred to as simply ''Il Tardini'', since 1923.

Financed by [[Calisto Tanzi]], the club won eight trophies between 1992 and 2002, a period in which it achieved its best ever league finish as runners-up in the [[1996–97 Serie A|1996–97 season]]. The club has won three [[Coppa Italia]], one [[Supercoppa Italiana]], two [[UEFA Europa League|UEFA Cup]]s, one [[UEFA Super Cup|European Super Cup]] and one [[UEFA Cup Winners' Cup]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://bleacherreport.com/articles/157851-how-the-mighty-have-fallen-the-fall-of-ten-untouchable-football-clubs#page/4|work=BleacherReport.com|publisher=Bleacher Report|title=How the Mighty Have Fallen: The Decline of 10 Untouchable Football Clubs|access-date=1 August 2010|date=17 April 2009|first=K.C.|last=Mynk}}</ref><ref>Dunford (2011), p. 793</ref>

Financial troubles were brought about in late 2003 by the [[Parmalat]] [[Parmalat#Financial fraud (2002–2005)|scandal]] which caused the [[parent company]] to collapse and resulted in the club operating in [[Administration (insolvency)|controlled administration]] until January 2007. The club was declared bankrupt in 2015 and refounded in the [[Serie D]], but secured a record three straight promotions to return to the top flight in 2018.

The club was founded in July 1913 as Verdi Foot Ball Club in honour of the [[Century|centenary]] of famous opera composer [[Giuseppe Verdi]], who was born in the [[province of Parma]]. It adopted yellow and blue as its colours.<ref name="Dizionario del calcio italiano">Sappino (2000), p. 986</ref><ref name="FI history">{{Cite web|url=http://www.football-italia.net/clubs/Parma/history|title=Parma Club History|access-date=12 January 2012|work=Football-Italia.net|publisher=[[Football Italia]]}}</ref>

In December of the same year, Parma Foot Ball Club was formed from many of the original club's players and began wearing white shirts emblazoned with a black cross.<ref name="Goal history">{{cite web|url=http://www.goal.com/it/teams/italy/4/parma/info|title=Parma|publisher=Goal.com|work=Goal.com|access-date=5 January 2011}}</ref> Parma began playing league football during the [[1919–20 in Italian football|1919–20 season]] after the end of [[World War I]]. Construction of a stadium, the [[Stadio Ennio Tardini]], began two years later.<ref name="official site tardini">{{Cite web|url=http://fcparma.com/descrizione-stadio?lang=en|work=FCParma.com|publisher=Parma F.C.|title=Stadium|access-date=22 December 2013|archive-date=28 September 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130928073751/http://fcparma.com/descrizione-stadio?lang=en|url-status=usurped}}</ref> Parma became a founder member of [[Serie B]] after finishing as runners-up in the [[Prima Divisione]] in the [[1928–29 Prima Divisione|1928–29 season]]. The club would remain in Serie B for three years before being relegated and changing its name to Associazione Sportiva Parma in 1930.<ref name="FI history"/> In the [[1935–36 Serie C#Girone B|1935–36 season]], Parma became a founding member of [[Lega Pro|Serie C]], where the club stayed until winning promotion back to Serie B in [[1942–43 Serie C#Girone G|1943]]. [[Football in Italy|Italian football]] was then brought to a halt as the [[Second World War]] intensified, although the team did make an appearance in the [[1944 Campionato Alta Italia#Group D|Campionato Alta Italia]] in 1944.
[[File:Parma Associazione Sportiva 1956-57.jpg|thumb|1956–57 Parma in ''Gialloblù'' shirt]]

Following the restart of organised football, Parma spent three years in Serie B, then split into two regional divisions, before again being relegated in [[1948–49 Serie B#Girone B|1948–49]] to Serie C. The side would spend another five seasons in Serie C before an eleven-year spell in Serie B that included the achievement of ninth position in [[1954–55 Serie B|1954–55]], a club record at that time.<ref name="Gazzetta di Parma history"/> This was an era in which the club's players generally held down other jobs or were still in education and when the town's amateur [[rugby union]] and [[volleyball]] sides, [[Rugby Parma F.C. 1931]] and [[Pallavolo Parma|Ferrovieri Parma]], proved more popular among the more privileged.<ref name="Dunford poem">Dunford (2011), pp. 739–740</ref> Parma made its debut in European competition during the 1960–61 season, defeating Swiss side [[AC Bellinzona]] in the [[Coppa delle Alpi]], but relegation to Serie C followed in [[1964–65 Serie B|1964–65 season]]. Parma spent just one season in Serie C before a second successive relegation, this time to [[Serie D]], in 1966.

===Rebirth and improvement (1968–1989)===
The club was in turmoil and was ordered into liquidation by the Court of Parma in 1968, changing its name to Parma Football Club that year. In 1969, another local team, Associazione Calcio Parmense, won promotion to [[Serie D]]. On 1 January 1970, A.C. Parmense adopted the sporting licence of the liquidated club which had been formed in 1913. This meant that it had the right to use the ''Crociata'' shirts, the badge and the city's name.<ref name="Dizionario del calcio italiano"/><ref name="FI history"/><ref name="Gazzetta di Parma history">{{cite web|url=http://www.gazzettadiparma.it/primapagina/dettaglio/6/25265/Da_Giuseppe_Verdi_a_Wembley.html|title=Da Giuseppe Verdi a Wembley...|work=Gazzetta di Parma|publisher=Editrice Gazzetta di Parma|location=Parma|trans-title=From Giuseppe Verdi to Wembley|language=it|access-date=2 March 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120609115327/http://www.gazzettadiparma.it/primapagina/dettaglio/6/25265/Da_Giuseppe_Verdi_a_Wembley.html|archive-date=9 June 2012|url-status=dead}}</ref> This brought about a change of luck in both financial and sporting terms, as the side was crowned Serie D champions and spent three years in [[Serie C]] before promotion to [[Serie B]]; however, it was a short stay. The team was relegated back to Serie C in its second season in the division. A return to Serie B did not materialise until the end of the 1970s and the club again lasted only one season in the second division of Italian football.
[[File:Parma Associazione Calcio 1973-1974.jpg|thumb|left|1973–74 Parma in its classic ''Crociata'' shirt]]

Under the management of [[Cesare Maldini]], Parma once again returned to Serie B after winning its division in 1984 with victory on the final day over [[U.S. Sanremese Calcio|Sanremo]]; [[Juventus FC|Juventus]]-bound [[Stefano Pioli]] scored the only goal of the game. The Ducali again only spent a year in Serie B, finishing third from bottom and succumbing to relegation as a consequence. [[Arrigo Sacchi]] did, however, manage to return the club to Serie B in 1986 after a single season in the third tier. The side enjoyed good success that season in missing out on promotion to Italy's top tier by just three points and eliminating [[A.C. Milan]] from the [[Coppa Italia]], a result that convinced owner [[Silvio Berlusconi]] to hire Sacchi as the new manager of the ''Rossoneri''. Sacchi's replacement, [[Zdeněk Zeman]], was fired after just seven matches and replaced by Giampieri Vitali, who secured two consecutive mid-table finishes.

===Success and insolvency (1989–2004)===
[[Nevio Scala]] was appointed as head coach in 1989.<ref name="Gazzetta di Parma history"/> Scala's Parma secured a historic promotion in [[Serie B 1989-90|1990]] to [[Serie A]] with a 2–0 [[Derby dell'Enza]] win over [[A.C.

Replaced by [[Carlo Ancelotti]], Scala departed in 1996 and was a popular coach for the trophies he won and because the team played attractive football in the tradition of the club.<ref name="Dunford poem"/>

[[Alberto Malesani]] was installed as coach in 1998 and the club completed a rare cup double in his first season, winning the [[1998–99 Coppa Italia|Coppa Italia]] final against [[ACF Fiorentina|Fiorentina]] on the [[away goals rule]] and the [[1999 UEFA Cup Final|UEFA Cup]] against [[Olympique de Marseille|Marseille]] at the [[Luzhniki Stadium]] in [[Moscow]] with a 3–0 victory before [[1999 Supercoppa Italiana]] victory over league champions Milan followed in August 1999. In 2000, Hernán Crespo was sold to [[S.S. Lazio|Lazio]] for a [[World football transfer record|world record transfer fee]] and Malesani departed.

Under replacement [[Renzo Ulivieri]], the club lost the [[2000–01 Coppa Italia|Coppa Italia]] final to Fiorentina. Under [[Pietro Carmignani]] in 2002, Parma [[2002 Coppa Italia Final|won the third Coppa Italia]] trophy against Juventus (but would slip to defeat in the [[2002 Supercoppa Italiana]]) and finished outside the top six for the first time since promotion in 1990.

==Colours and badge==
Originally, the club wore blue and yellow chequered shirts in honour of the city's traditional colours, which date back to 1545 when the [[Duchy of Parma]] was established,<ref name="Parma kits">{{Cite web|url=http://www.heraldica.org/topics/national/italy2.htm#parma|title=Heraldry in Pre-Unification Italy|work=Heraldica.org|first=François R. |last=Velde|access-date=30 July 2010}}</ref> but white shirts with a black [[cross]] on the chest were introduced after the [[First World War]], drawing inspiration from [[Juventus]]' colours, following a name change.<ref name="Goal history"/> White continued to be worn as the main colour of the home kits for much of the remainder of the century, although often complemented with yellow, blue or both, rather than black. The club did, however, experiment in the 1950s with blue shirts and blue and yellow striped shirts. The cross shirts were restored and worn until bankruptcy in 1968, when white shirts with off-centre blue and yellow vertical bands were worn, but the cross returned from 1970 until 1983 when a yellow and blue-sleeved white shirt was introduced and used for 8 years.

After decades in the lower divisions, Parma was promoted to Serie A in 1990, where the side immediately became a major force in the battle for major trophies, on many notable occasions in direct opposition to Juventus, who would become fierce rivals of Parma's. This rivalry and the influence of [[Parmalat]] led to the demotion of the white shirts to the away kit, so the side wore yellow and blue hooped shirts at home for six seasons between 1998 and 2004, and navy blue shirts often worn as third choice in this period. This was a time of great success for the club, thus the shirts became synonymous with Parma, often still called the ''Gialloblù'' (Yellow and Blues) today, despite a recent reversion to the traditional white shirts emblazoned with a cross caused by parent company Parmalat's collapse and the clubs subsequent re-foundation as Parma Football Club. Yellow and blue were Parma's traditional change colours, used in various combinations from 2004 to 2015, such as vertical stripes, hoops, crosses or as solid colour designs.<ref>{{Cite web | url=http://www.storiadelparmacalcio.com/collezione-parma/collezione-maglie-parma.htm | title=Le Maglie del Parma | trans-title=The Kits of Parma | work=storiadelparmacalcio.com | access-date=29 July 2010 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160721040942/http://www.storiadelparmacalcio.com/collezione-parma/collezione-maglie-parma.htm | archive-date=21 July 2016 | url-status=dead }}</ref>

Parma's logo changed in 2005 to reflect the name change from Parma A.C. to Parma F.C., but the logo otherwise remained the same, encompassing the city colours of yellow and blue and the club's traditional black cross set on a white background, and has not changed much in years, although it was dramatically overhauled to feature a prancing bull for one season in 2000–01 before it was criticised and discontinued in favour of the old badge. A new badge with broadly similar features was introduced for the 2014–15 season following the use of a commemorative centenary badge for the 2013–14 campaign.<ref>{{cite news|title=FC Parma Unveils Their 100 Year Anniversary Logo|url=http://www.gettyimages.co.uk/detail/news-photo/parma-fcs-centenery-logo-is-unveiled-at-stadio-ennio-news-photo/162797888|language=it|work=GettyImages.co.uk|publisher=[[Getty Images]]|date=27 February 2013|access-date=24 October 2015}}</ref> The newly formed club in 2015 adopted a new logo before acquiring the rights to a number of legacy items for €250,000 a year later.<ref>{{cite news | url=http://parmacalcio1913.com/il-parma-calcio-1913-ha-acquistato-dalla-curatela-il-marchio-parma-f-c-sulle-maglie-torna-lo-storico-scudo-gialloblu-crociato-ma-con-la-scritta-parma-calcio | title=Il Parma Calcio 1913 ha acquistato dalla Curatela il marchio Parma F.C.: sulle maglie torna lo storico scudo gialloblù crociato, ma con la scritta "Parma Calcio" | language=it | date=23 August 2016 | trans-title=Parma Calcio 1913 have acquired Parma F.C. branding: the traditional badge will return to the shirt but with "Parma Calcio" | access-date=24 August 2016 | archive-date=31 August 2016 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160831065332/http://parmacalcio1913.com/il-parma-calcio-1913-ha-acquistato-dalla-curatela-il-marchio-parma-f-c-sulle-maglie-torna-lo-storico-scudo-gialloblu-crociato-ma-con-la-scritta-parma-calcio | url-status=dead }}</ref>
