Atalanta Bergamasca Calcio, commonly referred to as Atalanta, is a professional football club based in Bergamo, Lombardy, Italy. The club plays in Serie A and has a long-standing rivalry with nearby club Brescia. Atalanta is known for its youth academy and has produced several notable talents. The club won the Coppa Italia in 1963 and reached the semi-finals of the Cup Winners' Cup in 1988. Atalanta has also participated in five seasons of the UEFA Europa League and qualified for the UEFA Champions League three times.

It’s 17th October 1907 when five guys, all in their twenties, gather around the table of the Correggi restaurant to give birth to a new sporting club. That’s when one of the most ancient clubs of Italy was founded, that’s when Atalanta Bergamasca Calcio was born. Since that moment Atalanta, which take their name from a Greek mythological heroine known for her speed, inextricably connect with the city of Bergamo, which they represent at Italian and international level. The Nerazzurri club are also called “Regina delle Provinciali” (queen of the provincial clubs), as they are the team with the highest number of Serie A appearances amongst clubs not based in a regional capital, achievement to which we must add the prestigious Coppa Italia win in the 1962/1963 season. One of the best youth academies in Europe since ever, they also boast three leagues and a Primavera Supercup in their palmares. Atalanta’s appeal is growing year by year also at international level. In the last seasons, under the presidency of Antonio Percassi and the coaching of Gian Piero Gasperini, Atalanta wrote new pages of their history, getting back to performing on international stages, until reaching their first historic UEFA Champions League participation.
