Der Football Club Internazionale Milano, besser bekannt als Inter, wurde im Jahr 1908 von einer Gruppe unzufriedener, international orientierter Mitglieder des damaligen Milan Cricket and Football Club (heute AC Milan) ins Leben gerufen.

Seit Mai 2024 gehört der Verein der amerikanischen Investmentgesellschaft Oaktree Capital Management.

Inter bestreitet seine Heimspiele im traditionsreichen Giuseppe‑Meazza-Stadion, das auch unter dem Namen San Siro bekannt ist. Das Stadion teilt man sich mit dem Stadtrivalen AC Milan: Während Milan überwiegend den Namen San Siro nutzt, bevorzugt Inter die offizielle Bezeichnung Giuseppe Meazza zu Ehren der Vereinslegende.

Das Giuseppe-Meazza-Stadion bietet Platz für beeindruckende 75.817 Zuschauer und zählt damit zu den größten Spielstätten Europas.

Mit insgesamt 44 Titeln gehört Inter Mailand zu den erfolgreichsten Klubs sowohl in Italien als auch in Europa. Besonders herausragend sind die drei Champions-League‑Triumphe aus den Jahren 1964, 1965 und 2010.

Seit seiner Gründung hat Inter Mailand beeindruckende 20 Scudettos gewonnen. Damit belegt man in der Rangliste den zweiten Platz hinter Juventus Turin, dem Rekordhalter mit 36 Titeln.

Der Argentinier Javier Zanetti ist mit 858 Pflichtspielen Inters Rekordspieler. Der ehemalige langjährige Kapitän erzielte dabei 21 Tore und lieferte 37 Assists.

Giuseppe Meazza erzielte 284 Treffer und hält damit den Rekord für die meisten Tore in der Vereinsgeschichte von Inter Mailand

Die Geschichte von Inter Mailand ist geprägt von zahlreichen herausragenden Spielern. Zu den Ikonen des Klubs zählen unter anderem Giuseppe Meazza, Sandro Mazzola, Javier Zanetti, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Wesley Sneijder und Samuel Eto'o.

Auch bei den Trainern ist die Geschichte von Inter Mailand reich an Legenden, darunter Helenio Herrera, Giovanni Trapattoni und Jose Mourinho.

Inter Mailand wird wegen seiner schwarz-blauen Vereinsfarben als Nerazzurri bezeichnet. Der Klub trägt zudem den ehrwürdigen Spitznamen La Beneamata ("die Geliebte") und wird gelegentlich auch I Nerazzurri del Biscione genannt - eine Anspielung auf die markante Schlange im Vereinswappen, das traditionelle Symbol Mailands.
