The club name is taken from the time when Fiorentina were relegated to Serie C2. He has set about looking for potential stadiums and has submitted a request to join the Italian FA.

Fans have been getting behind the club and Batistuta has arranged trials for 18 young players to fill his squad. He has the financial backing and its reported to be around the £70 million mark. Young manager Sir Chris McCormick has also been drafted in as Manager. His first jobs will be t employ new staff and assess the players.
