The first appearance of the Guardia di Finanza in the context of sports competitions dates back to 1911, with the participation of a team in the gymnastics competitions organized in Turin for the 50th anniversary of the Unification of Italy. However, the Scudo Nelli Trophy's first organized team, the Fiamme Gialle (Yellow Flames), was founded in 1921 to compete in a walking race. The trophy was eventually given out following three victories in 1922, 1925, and 1928. [2]

In the following years the activity was expanded with the establishment of several sports groups, the first of which was the Skiers Group, founded in 1925 at the Alpine School of the Guardia di Finanza in Predazzo (in the province of Trento), a group that became famous as the Yellow Flames of Predazzo.
