120 YEARS OF ROSSONERI HISTORY
Club
A 120-year story of love and passion built on 18 Scudetti, 7 UEFA Champions League titles, 5 European Super Cups, 7 Italian Supercoppe, 5 Coppe Italia, 2 UEFA Cup Winners’ Cups, 3 Intercontinental Cups and one FIFA Club World Cup.
The celebrations for the Club's 120th anniversary kick off today. Many stunning initiatives have been scheduled, including the inauguration of the roundabout named after the Rossoneri's Founding Father Herbert Kilpin on Monday 16 December, the very day in which, in 1899, AC Milan was founded with words stamped in the legend of world football: "We're going to be a team of devils. Our colours will be red like flames and black like our opponents’ fear."
Since then, AC Milan has marked the history of Italian, European and World football, while embodying values such as success, elegance and passion. It is on the latter of these which the anniversary campaign "A History of Pass120n" focuses. While #Passion120 is the rallying cry for all those who wish to celebrate this important moment in the club’s history.
The 120th anniversary is an extraordinary opportunity for the Club to return the passion and the commitment of the Rossoneri fans from all over the world to repay, nurture and share their passion for the benefit of future generations.
The programme includes many initiatives for all Rossoneri and football fans:
