the most out of any Italian club.[7][8][9][10] Milan has won a joint record three Intercontinental Cups
and one FIFA Club World Cup,[10] seven European Cup/Champions League titles (Italian record),[10] the
UEFA Super Cup a joint record five times and the Cup Winners' Cup twice.[10] With 18 league titles,
Milan is also the joint-second most successful club in Serie A, along with local rivals Internazionale and
behind Juventus (34 league titles).[11] They have also won the Coppa Italia five times, and the
Supercoppa Italiana seven.[10]

Milan's home games are played at San Siro, also known as the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza. The stadium,
which is shared with city rivals Internazionale, is the largest in Italian football, with a total capacity of
80,018.[12] Inter are considered their biggest rivals, and matches between the two teams are called
Derby della Madonnina, which is one of the most followed derbies in football.[13]

The club is one of the wealthiest in Italian and world football.[14] It was a founding member of the now-
defunct G-14 group of Europe's leading football clubs as well as its replacement, the European Club
Association.[15]
