Unione Sportiva Sassuolo Calcio, affectionately known as Sassuolo, paints its footballing canvas with the vibrant colours of black and green, earning the endearing nickname Neroverdi, which translates to "black and greens" in Italian. Based in the charming town of Sassuolo in Emilia-Romagna, the club has carved a unique path in Italian football.
Sassuolo's ascent to Serie A in the 2013–14 season marked a historic milestone, placing them among the elite teams that have graced the top tier without anchoring to a provincial capital city. This exclusive group includes the likes of Savoia (Torre Annunziata), Empoli, Legnano, Pro Patria (Busto Arsizio), Carpi, and Casale.
The club's roots date back to its founding in 1920, navigating the Emilian amateur divisions until the pivotal promotion to Serie D in 1968. Throughout its journey, Sassuolo underwent mergers with local football teams, culminating in the establishment of the current US Sassuolo Calcio in 1974. In 1984, Sassuolo achieved promotion to Serie C2, marking their entry into the professional football echelons. Despite facing relegation in 1990, Sassuolo navigated the challenges of Serie D in the 1990s. The club's resilience shone through in 1998, securing a second-place finish that propelled them back to Serie C2.
