Casale FBC: Italy’s First Football Surprise, Now in Miniature

In the world of miniature football, few teams carry the same historic charm as Casale Foot Ball Club. Serie A champions in 1913-14, Casale is a symbol of Italian football’s early days. Thanks to the Subbuteo La Leggenda collection, this legacy lives on in miniature form. Let’s explore why Casale is a gem for every Subbuteo collector.

A Story That Made History

Founded in 1909 in Casale Monferrato, Piedmont, the club gained national attention by winning the Italian First Division championship in 1913-14, beating much more established teams like Pro Vercelli and Genoa. To this day, Casale remains the only town with fewer than 100,000 residents to win a Serie A title.

Casale also made headlines as the first Italian team to defeat a professional English club, Reading FC, in 1913. This remarkable achievement confirmed the ambition and quality of a truly legendary squad.
