History:

Torino was one of Italy’s first strong squads and the club has a rich history. In fact, only three current Serie A sides made their first division debut before Torino did in 1909. During the 1940s, the team was nicknamed “The Great Torino” during a run when they won a record five straight Serie A titles and set several respected league records.
