Fiorentina are looking to end a 62-year drought without a European trophy as they prepare to face West Ham in the 2023 Europa Conference League final.
The Viola have not won a continental tournament since 1961, when they beat Rangers across two legs in the European Cup Winners' Cup. They reached the Round of 16 in the Champions League back in 2010, but were knocked out on away goals by Bayern Munich.
The Italian side have beaten Braga, Sivasspor, Lech Poznan, and Basel in the knockout rounds of this season's Conference League to reach the final. They last faced English opposition in the 2015/16 Europa League, losing 4-1 on aggregate to Tottenham in the Round of 32.
The Sporting News looks at where Fiorentina are based in their home country of Italy.
