List of Coppa Italia finals
The Coppa Italia is an Italian football annual cup competition. This list encompasses the winners of the finals.
In total, 72 finals of Coppa Italia have been contested throughout the 99 years of history of the competition, starting in the 1921–22 season with the first clash between Vado and Udinese. As of 2020, 26 teams have contested the final, with a total of 16 clubs ultimately winning the competition.[1][2]
Overview
There have been 42 single-match finals and 30 multiple-legged matches, generally at home and away venues, with one being a replay—penalty shoot-out to determine the winner was not yet employed. The stadium that hosted the most finals is the Stadio Olimpico of Rome, with 39 occasions; since 2008 it has become the permanent venue for all finals, from then on played in a one-legged match.[3] On the other hand, the cities with the fewest finals hosted are Vado Ligure, Venice, Ancona, and Vicenza, with just one each.
Juventus hold the record of having obtained the most titles (13), of having won the most consecutive cups (4), and of having played the most finals (19). Conversely, Milan have lost the greatest number of finals (9). Of the teams with more than one participation, those with the most unfavorable share of victories in finals are Palermo and Hellas Verona, with three defeats and no success each. Of the titled teams, Atalanta have the smallest percentage of successes, just one out of four finals (25 percent).
The cities with the most successes are Turin (18, hosting Juventus and Torino), followed by Rome (16, hosting Roma and Lazio) and Milan (12, hosting Internazionale and Milan). The same cities also enjoy the most participations in finals; they are joined by Florence (hosting Fiorentina) and Naples (hosting Napoli) as those with at least ten appearances in finals.
The most common combinations in the final have been the clashes, played five times each, between Juventus and Milan, and between Internazionale and Roma (all five from 2005 to 2010, making it also the most consecutive final). The most recent clubs to have contested a final are Napoli and Juventus in 2020, while the teams going the longest without appearing again are Vado and Udinese, both unseen since the first edition in 1922.[4] Of the teams for which the Coppa Italia is not the only competition ever won, for Napoli, Internazionale, Roma, Parma, Fiorentina, Sampdoria, Torino, and Genoa, the victory in a final also represents the last time they won a trophy.
Three times a city derby has been played in a final: teams from Turin (1938), Milan (1977), and Rome (2013) contested the title on their own home ground, at times especially chosen for the specific occasion.[5] On one other occasion, teams from the same region contested a final together, being Torino and Alessandria in 1936, from Piedmont.
The deciding match with the highest number of scored goals was the first leg of Roma–Internazionale in 2007, which saw eight goals. On the other hand, on seven occasions the result was a scoreless draw, four times in which the competition was featuring a single-legged final. The match with the largest scoring difference was the second leg of Sampdoria–Ancona in 1994, where the former won 6–1, outscoring the opponents by five goals. Seven finals have been decided by penalty shoot-outs, the last being Napoli–Juventus in 2020; all but two sequences concluded with at least one mistake per team.
The match with the highest recorded attendance was the second leg of Juventus–Milan in 1990, played at the recently expanded San Siro, accounting for 83,561 spectators. Of the finals open to the public—in 2020 spectators were not allowed in due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic—the lowest attendance ever recorded was during the second leg of Juventus–Torino in 1938 at the Stadio Benito Mussolini of Turin, when only 9,091 people were present at the match.
