Collection: Parma Soccer Cards
Parma Calcio’s story is one of meteoric rise, triumph, and rebirth. Founded in 1913, the club from Emilia-Romagna reached its peak in the 1990s, when it became a powerhouse of Italian and European football. Backed by Parmalat’s investment, Parma assembled one of the most talented squads in Serie A history.
Under coaches Nevio Scala and Carlo Ancelotti, and with stars like Gianluigi Buffon, Fabio Cannavaro, Lilian Thuram, Hernán Crespo, and Gianfranco Zola, Parma captured the UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup (1993), two UEFA Cups (1995, 1999), and multiple domestic trophies. Their thrilling, attacking style made them global fan favorites.
Financial collapse in the 2000s forced Parma to restart from the lower leagues, but the club’s spirit endured. Their return to Serie A and European competition proved that pride and history can outlast any hardship.
Parma remains a symbol of football’s golden age — where talent, courage, and style combined to create legends.
