Sports clubs were likewise forced to Italianize their names: A.C. Milan became Milano and Internazionale was renamed Ambrosiana, after the patron saint of Milan.
Kelompok-kelompok olahraga juga dipaksa untuk mengitalianisasikan nama mereka, misalnya A.C. Milan berubah menjadi Milano, Internazionale diubah menjadi Ambrosiana (nama santo penjaga kota Milan).
