After re-branding itself as Parma Calcio 1913 and restarting anew in Serie D this season, Parma will be auctioning off the original Parma FC’s trophies.
The club went bankrupt back in March this year while still playing in Serie A, but the reborn club are still in a sticky financial situation and has had to resort to some extreme methods to raise funds. The club is now selling a large portion of valuables and other items relating to the original brand, and announced a complete list of auction items at www.fallimentiparma.com, a website that sells bankrupt inventory.
“The administrators of Parma FC, Angelo Anedda and Alberto Guiotto, are calling for any expressions of interest in purchasing the assets of Parma FC,” a statement reads.
“Declarations of interest must be received by 6 PM on 11 September 2015, and then be accompanied by a final offer by 12 October 2015, as well as a security deposit of 10 per cent for each item.”
While prices are not listed, almost everything imaginable is up for grabs.
The website lists three Coppa Italia replica trophies from 1992, 1999, and 2002, the 1995 and 1999 UEFA Cups, the 1994 European Super Cup, the 1992 Supercoppa Italiana, and the 1993 Cup Winner’s Cup.
In addition to a large selection of prestigious silverware, items such as medical equipment, sports equipment, TVs, smartphones, and even the brand name “Parma FC” are up for auction.
