Milano Seamen
Milano Seamen are an American football team from Milan, Italy. They were founded in 1981 by Sergio Galeotti and play home games at Velodromo Vigorelli. Their colors are navy blue, action green, and white. The team is coached by Jim Ward and directed by general manager Marco Mutti. They compete in the European League of Football (ELF) and in the Italian Football League (IFL). The Seamen have won five Italian titles (Italian Super Bowls) in 2014, 2015, 2017, 2018 and 2019.
History in brief: The Seamen were very successful in the 1980s, reaching the Italian Super Bowl in 1987 and 1989. They folded in 1990 and were re-established in 2009. They won the Under-19 championship in 2010 and joined the IFL in 2010. Their first Italian Super Bowl win came in 2014, beating Parma Panthers 33–3. After the COVID-19 pandemic canceled the 2020 season, they reached the Italian Bowl several times, including a 34–40 loss to Parma in 2020 and a 17–21 loss to Guelfi Firenze in 2022. In 2023 they joined the ELF and stopped playing in the IFL, coordinating with Legnano Frogs to develop young players. The Velodromo Vigorelli was renovated in 2018, allowing the Seamen to return to their historic home field, which features artificial turf. The club’s Under-19 team also reached the national final in 2019–2020, winning 8–6 against Giaguari Torino at Vigorelli.
