On 9th March 1908 Football Club Internazionale Milano was formed by a group of rebels. It was these rebels that allowed foreign players as well as Italians to play i.e. Internazionale. The clubs first captain was Swiss player Hernst Manktl. The clubs colours are gold, black and blue, which have even been kept to the present day.

Two years later in 1910 Inter wins the Italian League for the first time. This championship team was captained by Virgilio Fossati, who then died in the World War I several years later. This team even won their second title without him in 1920.

During the 1930 a lot happened with the club. For in 1930 during the Fascist era the club had to merge with the Milanes Unione Sportiva and the team win its third Scudetto under the name of Ambrosiana Inter.

In 1934 the Italian national team won the World Cup in Rome with Nerazzurri Allemandi, Castellazzi, Demaria and the great Giuseppe Meaza coming from the Inter team. Also two years later in the Berlin Olympics Frossi and Locatelli win the gold medals.

Ferraris II, Farrari, Locatelli and Meazza are the Ambosiana players that are involved in the Azzurri set up in which the team wins the world Cup of 1938 in Paris. Whilst in the same year Inter Milan win their fourth Scudetto, but he clubs first Coppa Italia victory doesn’t come until 1939

In the 1940s the club wins another tile. And the team name of Ambrosiana is discarded in October of 1945 after that the club used its previous name of Inter.
In 1947 saw Giuseppe Maezza play his last of his 408 official matches for Inter. The Inter striker has the legend status with his 287 goals for the club, he later died in 1979 and the San Siro stadium is named in his honour a year later.

In 1953 the Nerazzurri win their sixth Scudetto and they win it again in the following year with the help of the great player of Italian Benito “Veleno” Lorenzi, Swede Skoglund, Dutchman Wilkes and the stateless Nyers.

In 1963 saw the “Great Inter” era start. In which the club president was Angelo Moratti, coach Helenio Herrera and the line up was Sarti, Burgnich, Facchetti, Bedin, Guarneri, Picch, Jair, Mazzola, Milani (Domenghini), Suarrez and Corso. This great team won Serie A titles three successive title in a row – 1964, 1965 and 1966 with the last one being the tenth Scudetto which allowed the club to wear the one gold star on their shirts. The club also won two European Cups in 1964 against Real Madrid and against Benfica in 1965, two Intercontinental Cups in 1964 and 1965 both of which were against Argentine side Independiente.
1964 saw Suarez win the European championship with the Spanish national team.

Also in the 1960s with the help of Burgnich, Facchetti, Domenghini, Mazzola and Guarneri help the Italian national team’s victory in the 1968 European championship in Rome. Then three years later the Nerazzurri won their eleventh Scudetto under the coach Gianni Invernizzi.

In the 1980s Inter won the Serie A title in 1980 and in Madrid in 1982 Italy win the World Cup with the help of Altobelli, Bordon, Marini, Oriali and Bergomi from Inter Milan.

1989 saw Inter win their thirteenth Scudetto and accumulating a record 58 points from 34 matches (two points for a win). Then a year later Brehme, Matthaeus and Klinsman the German trio win the World Cup in Rome at Italia ’90. Also in the same year Lothar Matthaeus becomes the first Inter player to attain the European Player of the Year award.

Then on 2nd May 1991 Inter beat Roma 2-1 on aggregate in the UEFA Cup final. And they won their second UEFA Cup final three years later when they beat Salzburg.

In 1998 saw Ronaldo become the first Inter player to win the FIFA World Player award and only the second to win the Ballon d’Or. Inter also miss out on the Scudetto after a hard duel with Juventus, even though they did beat Lazio 3-0 in Paris to win the UEFA Cup for the third time.

On 12th April 2000 saw Ronaldo injured during the Coppa Italia final against Lazio. Ronaldo named the “phenomenon” returns to the pitch in 2001-02 season and scores. Whilst at the same time Nerazzurri defender Laurent Blanc was apart of the French team that beat Italy in the Euro 2000 final.

Most recently Inter overtake AC Milan to finish fifth in Serie A championship. And in the summer a “Ronaldo Day” is held to celebrate his Ronaldo or the Phenomenon’s return to competitive football. And in November one of Inter’s most legendary players, the great Giacinto Facchetti is made the vice president of the Beneamata Avv, Giuseppe Prisco passes away two days after his eightieth birthday.

In 2002 Inter came close to winning their fourteenth Scudetto. They went into the last match of the season one point over Juventus, while Roma beat Inter into second place. Like what happened in 1967 when in the last match of the championship is fatal to the Nerazzurri.

Inter Milan play their matches at the San Siro Stadium which has the capacity of 85,700.

The star players at Inter Milan are Christian Vieri, Julio Ricardo, Marco Materazzi, Alvaro Recoba, Andy Van der Meyde, Fabio Cannavaro, Francisco Javier Farinos, Daniele Adani and Obafemi Martins.

Inter Milan hope to finish the season within the top five of the Serie A and hopes to feature in the Italian titles by reaching or winning the finals. Inter Milan also hope to qualify for next season UEFA Champions League in which they hope to progress further.
