Atalanta Colors, Facts and History

Atalanta history

Bergamo's club dates from 1907 and owns some odd records. No team outside a regional capital has spent more seasons in Serie A without winning the title (65), and none has earned more promotions to the top flight. Atalanta also shares the mark for most Serie B titles with Genoa. The team wears black and blue.

Silverware is rare but memorable: the 1963 Coppa Italia and the 2024 UEFA Europa League. The club has reached the Champions League five times, getting to the quarter-finals in 2020, and has six seasons of Europa League or UEFA Cup play. Back in 1988, while still a Serie B side, Atalanta made the Cup Winners' Cup semi-finals, which remains tied for the best run ever by a club outside a top division in a major UEFA event. The youth academy turns out players for leading European leagues. The old rivalry with Brescia Calcio lives on through Union Brescia, the phoenix club formed after Brescia folded in 2025.
