A.C. Milan Soccer Team
AC Milan is an Italian football club. .
The second most successful club in Italian soccer history,
they won the Serie A 17 times and Coppa Italia five times.
The club was founded in 1899 as the Milan Cricket
and Football Club by Alfred Edwards, a British expatriate.
In honour of its origins, the club has retained the English
spelling of its city's name, instead of changing it to the
Italian Milano.
The team's current stadium is the 85,700 seater
Giuseppe Meazza, also known as the San Siro. The stadium is
shared with Internazionale (also known as "Inter"),
the other major football club in Milan. AC Milan supporters
use "San Siro" to refer to the stadium because Meazza
was a star player for Inter.
