The club's Italian name is Genoa CFC, and it has nicknames such as I Rossoblu (the red and blue), Il Grifone and Il Vecchio Balordo (the old fools). The club colours are red and blue, as can be seen in one of the nicknames. At home they play at Stadio Luigi Ferraris, which is also known as Marassi after the location where it is situated. Its capacity is 36,600 seats.
The club's most important and traditional rival is Sampdoria, with whom they even share the same stadium. When the two clubs play each other, these matches are called Derby de Lanterna. There is also an obvious dislike for AC Milan. This developed from a local violent act resulting in a death in 1995. At that time, security at the stadium was still lax and it was possible to carry, for example, stabbing weapons.
The club was founded in Genoa in 1893 as the then Genoa Cricket & Athletic Club, by the British Consuls of Queen Victoria. From 1899 it focused on football and was renamed the Genoa Cricket and Football Club.
In the late 19th century and early 20th century it was a very successful Italian club in terms of results. It won a total of 9 titles in the top competitions of the time, between 1898 and 1924. None of them are from the current format of the top competition, Serie A. They also won the Italian Cup in 1936/37.
As for the club's modern history, at the beginning of this century the club played Serie B, the second highest competition. In the 2005/06 edition, it even operated in the 3rd league. However, it managed to get out of it and since the 2007/08 season it has been playing Serie A again. Most of the time it is in the middle to second half of the table. The best position in recent years is 6th place in the 2014/15 season.
