About Arethusa Siracusa
The home jersey worn by Arethusa Siracusa during its Hellenic League of Champions campaign.
No club has more gladly accepted the ‘one-man-team’ label than Arethusa Siracusa, which had captain Archimedes to thank for their success in the Western Mediterranean football scene. Siracusa’s abundant supply of papyrus allowed Arethusa’s talisman to scribble tactical plans endlessly, but Archimedes’ Eureka moment came when he discovered the double pivot, which solidified Siracusa’s fluid play style and shifted the balance in the Sicilian League.
With the domestic league at its mercy, Arethusa’s fiercest competition came in the international competitions, particularly against Carthage, whose physical, brutish style of play (helmed by captain Hannibal) was the antithesis of Siracusa’s free-flowing philosophy. That said, in the now-infamous “Siege of Syracuse”, Archimedes dropped Arethusa’s double pivot deep and absorbed Carthage pressure to engineer a late win, leading the Carthaginians to accuse their opponents of “docking the boat”.
