Atalanta

Atalanta Bergamasca Calcio is a football club based in the Lombardy region of Italy. Usually referred to simply as Atalanta, they gained promotion from Serie B at the end of the 2010-2011 campaign and went on to establish themselves as a Serie A side. The club boasts three nicknames in the form of La Dea, the Nerazzurri and the Orobici and was founded by a group of Swiss students in 1907. Stadio Atleti Azzurri d’Italia has been Atalanta’s home ground since the stadium opened in 1928. Currently known as the Gewiss Stadium because of sponsorship, the ground occasionally plays host to the Italian national side for matches. It has been renovated and updated numerous times since it first opened, with the most significant alterations coming in the years since the club’s return to Serie A.
