History
In 1922, Inter remained in the top league after winning two play-offs. Six years later, during the Fascist era, the club was compelled to collab with the Unione Sportiva Milanese and was renamed to Società Sportiva Ambrosiana. The team donned white jerseys during those. It was in 1929, that the club’s chairman Oreste Simonotti changed the club’s name to Associazione Sportiva Ambrosiana, however, fans continued to call the team Inter, and in 1931 new chairman Pozzani paved in to as a shareholder and changed the name to Associazione Sportiva Ambrosiana-Inter.
The club won its first Coppa Italia (Italian Cup) in 1938–39, headed by legend Giuseppe Meazza, after whom the San Siro stadium is officially named. However, despite Meazza suffering an injury, the fifth championship still was continued in 1940. And post the end of World War II the club regained its original name, winning its sixth championship in 1953 and it’s seventh in 1954.
