Bologna's recent form has been impressive. In the 2023–24 season, the club finished 5th in Serie A, its best league finish in decades, which earned Bologna a spot in the UEFA Champions League for the first time. In the ongoing 2024–25 season, Bologna have remained competitive, holding a top-half position in Serie A (6th place) and making their Champions League debut.
Bologna FC enjoys passionate support and a rich fan culture. Home matches at the Dall'Ara stadium are marked by vibrant displays of the club's red and blue colors and enthusiastic chanting by the supporters. The most fervent fans occupy the Curva Bulgarelli, creating an intense atmosphere for home games. The club's biggest rivalry is with Fiorentina, against whom Bologna contest the Derby dell'Appennino.
Vincenzo Italiano took charge of Bologna FC in June 2024 on a two-year contract, replacing previous coach Thiago Motta. A former Fiorentina coach, Italiano has led Bologna in their historic Champions League debut and continued to build on the progress from the prior season. Under his guidance, Bologna has maintained their competitive edge in Serie A while gaining valuable European experience.
