Unione Sportiva Fiorenzuola 1922 is an Italian football (soccer) club from Fiorenzuola d'Arda, Emilia-Romagna. It was founded in 1922 and its official and colours are red and black.
In its history, Fiorenzuola mostly played in amateur and lower professional leagues, except for a brief stint in the 1990s when the club reached Serie C1 and narrowly missed promotion to Serie B, after losing the 1995 promotion playoff final to Pistoiese on penalty shoot-outs. Also in 1995, Fiorenzuola made a great exploit in the Coppa Italia, being defeated 2-1 at home by Inter Milan after having previously eliminated Brescia and Torino. In the years to come Fiorenzuola started a slow decline which brought the club down to the Eccellenza amateur league, where it currently plays.
Several Serie A players in the late 1990s and 2000s played for Fiorenzuola during its best years, including Italian football stars such as Luca Toni, Massimo Oddo and Flavio Roma.
