BRIEF HISTORY: Lazio started out as an amateur club after being founded in 1900. They joined the Italian Football Federation’s league competition in 1912. They were the only club in Rome who resisted the fascist government’s attempt to merge all teams in the city into what would become AS Roma in 1927.
Lazio’s official website states that the origin of their ‘eagle’ crest was founded as an eagle was the symbol of the Roman legions. As for their kit colours of sky blue and white, they were chosen through inspiration from the flag of Greece, due to their creation of the modern Olympics just six years beforehand, aligning with Lazio as a multi-sports club in their early years.
In 1929, they played in the first organised Serie A, and in 1937, Lazio had their best pre-war campaign, finishing second thanks largely to the leadership of striker Silvio Piola.
