Sassuolo history
Unione Sportiva Sassuolo Calcio comes from the town of Sassuolo in Emilia-Romagna, and it was founded in 1920. Black and green are the club colors, and they give the team its nickname, Neroverdi, the black and greens.
Top-flight football arrived late. Sassuolo made its Serie A debut in 2013-14 and joined the small group of clubs to play in the top division without coming from a provincial capital. That spell ran all the way to relegation to Serie B after 2023-24. The drop did not last long. Sassuolo bounced straight back after a single season in the second tier and now competes in Serie A again. Home matches are not played in Sassuolo itself but at the Mapei Stadium in nearby Reggio Emilia, which holds 21,515 fans.
