Coppa Italia - One of the oldest competitions in Italy

The Coppa Italia is one of the oldest running competitions in Europe. The tournament was first held in 1922 with FC Vado defeating Udinese Calcio FC, in order to win the very first title. The next time the competition was held 1935, with Torino FC winning the competition. AS Roma is the most success out of any Italian football club with 9 titles and 7 runner ups. Juventus is second behind them with a total of 9 titles and 4 runner ups. Over the years the Coppa Italia has featured Italian superstars such as AS Roma superstar player Francisco Totti and Juventus FC starAlessandro Del Piero.
