In the heart of Italy’s Emilia-Romagna region, Sassuolo stands as a testament to defying the odds. Founded in 1922, this club from a town of just over 40,000 inhabitants has, against all conventional wisdom, established itself as a regular fixture in Serie A.

Their journey to the top flight was a remarkable ascent through the Italian football pyramid, culminating in their historic promotion. Rather than being a flash in the pan, Sassuolo has consistently held its own, often playing an attractive, attacking brand of football that has earned them admirers across the peninsula.

While not boasting a trophy cabinet laden with silverware, their greatest achievements lie in their sustained presence amongst Italy’s elite. They play their home matches at the MAPEI Stadium – Città del Tricolore in Reggio Emilia, a venue with a capacity of 23,717 that underlines their unique story and ambition to compete at the highest level.
