featuring ASD Talmone Calcio @SCTalamone all the way from Grosetto, Tuscany Italy ๐ฎ๐น
The beautiful seaside village of Talamone is featured in Trip Advisors Best Places to visit in Italy in 2023!
You might recognise itโs spectacular scenery from the Bond movie Quantum of Solace!
The club was founded in 1969 by Franco Natali ( back row left) and they won their first ever game 5-3 against local rivals Albinia!
Hereโs the first ever team photo and a photo from that first game.

The club stumbled through the 70s and 80s without any great success but all that began to change in the 90s
A year on year improvement culminated in their first ever League title in โ97 โฆand their second in โ98

They added a cup win in โ01 and a Supercup win in โ04 and the sealed the league championship again in โ07 rounding off a golden decade.
At the height of his playing career for Milan Giovanni Trapattoni would holiday in Talamone and developed strong links with the club.
He even managed them for one charity game in 2010 when the club was at risk of folding.

Sadly it wasnโt enough to stave off administration for the club
There was a merger with local club Fonteblanda and โIl Trapโ (Ireland manager at the time) still came to visit even donating a set of ๐ฎ๐ช 3rd kits to the new team in โ12
The next stadium will be named in his honour
The club was resurrected in 2018 when local Futsal team โBar Il Porto Talamoneโ decided to create a new club and reinstate the historic name.

They play in the Elite Division of the UISP Grossetto League and finished a very respectable 3rd place in the league last year.
They also won the Trofeo Mister Di Provincia Cup Tournament in Naples!
