Cagliari Calcio, commonly referred to as Cagliari (Italian: [ˈkaʎʎari] ), is an Italian football club based in Cagliari, Sardinia, that plays in Serie A, the first tier of Italian football. The club currently plays home matches at the 16,416-seat Unipol Domus.
Founded in 1920, they won their first and only Scudetto in 1969–70, when they were led by the Italian national team's all-time leading scorer, Gigi Riva. The triumph was also the first by a club from south of Rome. The club's best European performance was in the 1993–94 UEFA Cup, reaching the semi-finals before losing to eventual winners Internazionale.
As with the flag of its city, Cagliari's colours are blue and red. The club badge incorporates the flag of Sardinia.
