Unione Sportiva Sassuolo Calcio, commonly known as Sassuolo, is an Italian football club based in Sassuolo, Emilia-Romagna. Established in 1920, Sassuolo’s early years were spent in amateur football until their rise through the ranks. They first gained promotion to Serie D in 1968 and merged with local teams to form the current club in 1974. Sassuolo climbed to Serie C2 in 1984 but faced relegation in 1990, returning to Serie D for much of the 1990s. A significant breakthrough came in 1998 with promotion to Serie C2. Sassuolo’s major achievement came in the 2013–14 season when they secured a spot in Serie A, marking their debut in Italy’s top division. Known for their distinctive black and green colors, Sassuolo played in Serie A until their relegation in the 2023–24 season, joining a unique group of non-capital city teams to have competed at that level.
