About Lazio
Lazio were founded in 1900 as a running club, took white and sky blue as a tribute to Greece — home of the Olympic ideal — and carry the eagle on the badge that makes them le Aquile. This free Lazio quiz covers the whole story: the Stadio Olimpico shared with Roma since 1953, the Curva Nord, and the fiercest fixture in the capital. When Rome's clubs were merged to create AS Roma in 1927, Lazio refused — the Derby della Capitale has carried that edge ever since.
The first Scudetto came in 1973-74 under Tommaso Maestrelli, with Giorgio Chinaglia's 24 goals leading Serie A. The golden turn of the millennium brought the rest: the last-ever Cup Winners' Cup in 1999, won 2-1 against Mallorca at Villa Park with Pavel Nedvěd scoring the winner, the 1999 UEFA Super Cup against Manchester United, and the 2000 Scudetto under Sven-Göran Eriksson, sealed on a dramatic rain-soaked final day. That era traded in world records — Christian Vieri sold to Inter, Hernán Crespo signed from Parma for £35.5 million — while the academy produced Alessandro Nesta, the Rome-born captain of the double winners.
Expect questions on the 1999-2000 era, the legends from Silvio Piola — whose 274 goals remain Serie A's all-time record — to Ciro Immobile, who left in 2024 as the club's all-time top scorer after a 36-goal European Golden Shoe season. You'll be asked which club Lazio beat at Villa Park, who coached the 2000 champions, and what the eagle stands for. Difficulty climbs from easy openers to genuinely hard deep cuts.
