Bologna

Bologna were founded in 1909 and play their home games at Stadio Renato Dall'Ara in Italy.

A wee glimpse into Bologna Football Club 1909 paints the picture of a vibrant team in the heart of Italy. This crew finds their dwelling at the Stadio Renato Dall'Station, a venue as storied as the team itself, founded back in 1909.

Not a shabby ensemble, the Bologna playing squad's total market value hovers around the region of £240m according to information from Transfermarkt.

Not a group of spring chickens, nor a collection of grizzled veterans, the Bologna side averages an age of 27. Numbers paint a portion of the story, and this one tells of a team that seems to have found the delicate equilibrium between youth and experience.

Bologna's calendar has been rather jam-packed this season. They've pitched their wits in four different competitions, offering spirited performances across the board. On the domestic front, they sit comfortably at 8th in Serie A. Their cup journey has led them to the quarter-finals of the Coppa Italia, while their Supercoppa endeavour took them all the way to the finals. Not to forget their exploits on the continental stage - Bologna have been doing the rounds in the Europa League's league phase. No matter where you look, Bologna FC have been putting in the hard yards, and the results are there for all to see.
