Empoli FC

The Tuscany club has a tradition dating back to 1920 and has changed its name several times throughout its history. From the original Empoli FBC it gradually became ASF Empoli, Dopolavoro Empolese to today's Empoli FC. The Azzurri, as the team playing its home games at Stadio Carlo Castellani (capacity of more than 16,000 spectators) is also nicknamed, even played in the UEFA Cup in 2007. However, the vast majority of their time was spent in Italy's third highest competition. They have been more successful in recent seasons, but they are still more of a provincial club in the Italian scale, on the border between Serie A and Serie B.

Cagliari Calcio

Their nicknames include I Rossoblu (the Red and Blue), Gli Isolani (the Islanders), I Sardi (the Sardinians) and Casteddu (the Sardinian name for Cagliari). From all the nicknames, it is clear that they are a club from the island of Sardinia, and in addition, they play in a colour combination of red and blue. They are at home in the Sardegna Arena, which provides 16,233 seats. Meanwhile, this is the temporary home of the club, which was originally at the Stadio Sant'Elia. However, it has been partially demolished with the intention of building a new stadium, which is scheduled for completion in 2021.
