A few hundred metres from the famous Leaning Tower, Pisa lives football with undiminished passion. Founded in 1909, the nerazzurro club carries the colours of a former maritime republic that once ruled over part of the Mediterranean. Wearing this jersey means showing off the black and blue stripes of a Tuscan club with a strong character, loyal to a city of art and history.
The Anconetani years, the nerazzurro golden age
Under the presidency of Romeo Anconetani, a figure as passionate as he was colourful, Pisa enjoyed its most brilliant period in the 1980s: several seasons in Serie A and two Mitropa Cups, in 1986 and 1988. The club welcomed players who went on to fame, such as Brazil’s Dunga or a young Diego Simeone, who arrived from Argentina in 1990. For anyone exploring the great stories of European football clubs, Pisa offers a flavourful chapter.
Black and blue, a Tuscan signature
The vertical black and blue stripes give the Pisa jersey a sober yet assertive look. They are a reminder that Tuscany is not only Florence: on the banks of the Arno, another city defends its pride and identity, with a crowd that has never stopped pushing its team.
Back in Serie A, thirty-four years later
In 2025, Pisa returned to Serie A for the first time since 1991, sparking huge celebrations across the city. Its maritime past also connects it to Sardinia: in the Middle Ages, the Pisans fortified the Castello district at the heart of the Sardinian capital, whose towers still overlook the city. A link that continues today on the pitch with Cagliari Calcio.
The Arena Garibaldi, in the shadow of the tower
The Arena Garibaldi, which also bears the name of Romeo Anconetani, is just a stone’s throw from the Piazza dei Miracoli. Few stadiums in the world are so close to such a famous monument: before kick-off, supporters and visitors cross paths at the foot of the Leaning Tower.
Wear the nerazzurri colours of the city of the tower by choosing the Pisa jersey, the union of a thousand-year history and an undiminished passion.
