Template:Football club infobox
AC Milan is an Italian football club. Based in Milan , they play in red-and-black stripes and black shorts, giving them the nickname rossoneri ("red-blacks"). The second most successful club in Italian soccer history (behind Juventus ), they have won the Serie A 17 times and Coppa Italia five times.
The club was founded in 1899 as the Milan Cricket and Football Club by Alfred Edwards , a British expatriate. In honour of its origins, the club has retained the English spelling of its city's name, instead of changing it to the Italian Milano ; it should be noted that the current Italian pronunciation is actually MEE-lahn .
The team's current stadium is the 85,700 seater Giuseppe Meazza, also known as the San Siro . The stadium is shared with Internazionale (also known as "Inter"), the other major football club in Milan. AC Milan supporters use "San Siro" to refer to the stadium because Meazza was a star player for Inter.
Historically, AC Milan (usually referred to as "Mìlan" in Italy) was supported by the city's working classes and trade unionists , while Inter was mainly supported by the more prosperous. However, in recent years, the clubs have seen a significant reversal in supporter bases. Milan is now owned by conservative media magnate and current Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi , while Inter is now owned by a centre-left businessman.
