About

Palermo Football Club is an Italian professional football club based in Palermo, Sicily that currently plays in Serie B, and signed shirts from the club are featured at Walkouts. Founded on 1 November 1900, the club traces its roots to Anglo Palermitan Athletic and Football Club and has deep civic ties to Palermo, Sicily, while its competitive status is reflected by Serie B placement today.

The modern history shows a club with notable achievements, including a Coppa Italia Serie C victory and appearances in three Coppa Italia finals, alongside a long top-flight presence and five Serie B titles. Internationally Palermo have made five UEFA Cup appearances and have played across Europe in the UEFA Cup and Europa League; the side is also ranked 501 by IFFHS, a data point collectors note when assessing provenance.

Collectors follow club milestones and commemoratives, the 2000 Centenario badge and the 2020 120 anni commemorative treatments are particularly cited, and derby shirts from the Derby di Sicilia or the Derby delle Isole often carry regional provenance. Provenance notes and match provenance from Coppa Italia ties raise interest for framed shirts and display pieces, and items linked to high-profile finals attract attention.

Season-specific shirts are chased for clear reasons, for example the 2005-06 UEFA Cup campaign as the club's first modern European entry, the 2009-10 season which returned Palermo to continental qualification, and the 2010-11 Coppa Italia run which saw Palermo reach the final. These seasons produced retail runs, player-issue variants and match-issued requests that drive demand among fans and museums alike.

Iconic shirt examples include away sets used in cup runs, where colourway and context matter to collectors; Palermo away kits from the 2010-11 Coppa Italia campaign and earlier UEFA Cup away sets are often singled out. Labels and supplier eras matter too, collectors check Lotto, Joma and Legea labels for era verification, and provenance notes from the 2011 final remain a common reference when assessing a shirt's history and authenticity.

Beyond match-worn items there is strong demand for fanshop releases and early retail runs, with collectors explicitly seeking signed retail shirts, limited edition framed pieces and region-specific releases rather than only match-worn shirts. The 2000 Centenario commemorative run and the 2009-10 season retail variants are examples of pieces that frequently surface in secondary markets, often accompanied by paperwork or photographic provenance.

For shoppers seeking authenticated pieces, the market often lists items such as the 2010-11 white away shirt tied to the Coppa Italia campaign with supporting provenance, and many listings include a COA as a verification cue. Whether you are tracing derby provenance from the Derby di Sicilia, comparing UEFA Cup era shirts or studying the 2009-10 and 2010-11 seasons, these seasons and shirts remain central to Palermo collecting and are routinely highlighted in final listings at Walkouts.

At national cup level, Palermo lifted the Coppa Italia Serie C, and twice more advanced deep into knockout campaigns. The city rallied around famous Coppa Italia runs that ended with finals in 1973-74, 1978-79 and 2010-11, occasions that placed the Rosanero under the brightest lights.

Legends & Leadership

Edinson Cavani emerged as a recent key player in the late 2000s, bringing tireless movement and decisive finishing that helped propel Palermo’s forward line and energised the Rosanero during a vibrant spell in Serie A and Europe.

Luca Toni defined the mid-2000s as a recent key player, leading the attack with aerial strength and penalty-box instincts that made Palermo a persistent threat to Italy’s elite and a side capable of headline performances.

Paulo Dybala rose as a recent key player in the early 2010s, showcasing close control and creative flair that illuminated Palermo’s build-up play and offered fans a glimpse of top-level potential during important campaigns.

Stadium

Stadio Renzo Barbera is Palermo’s home and a symbol of football on the island. Locals simply call it Renzo Barbera, and on matchdays the stands turn into a sea of pink and black as the Rosanero faithful set a distinctive tone with flags, songs and choreographed colour. The ground’s identity is interwoven with the city’s football culture, with traditional fixtures drawing intense interest. The Derby di Sicilia against Catania is the most charged occasion on the calendar, while meetings with Messina in the Derby delle Isole add another layer of regional pride. European nights and domestic cup ties have also given the stadium a stage for high-stakes football, with an atmosphere that lifts the team and challenges visiting sides. Renzo Barbera remains the focal point for Palermo’s ambition and community spirit.
