Bologna, a long-standing football institution, first saw the light of day in 1909. The Italian side have made the Stadio Renato Dall'Ara their home, a ground steeped in an abundance of history and passion. The echoes of past victories and defeats can almost be heard resonating from its walls.
The current squad consists of 28 lads, a thoughtfully assembled and competently managed team. The average age of the players is around 27 years old, which suggests a balanced mixture of fresh talent and experienced heads, likely to hold the side in good stead during moments of tribulation.
When it comes to taking to the field of play this season, Bologna have pressed their stud-marked boots into the grass in no less than four competitions. This includes their national league, Serie A, where they've done reasonably well to secure a firm footing in 6th place. They also took part in the domestic cup, Coppa Italia, but sorrowfully bowed out in the 3rd round. Not to be deterred, they made it into the final of the Supercoppa, showcasing an admirable fighting spirit. Lastly, they've demonstrated their European ambitions, having made it to the league phase of the Europa League.
