Unione Sportiva Sassuolo Calcio, commonly referred to as Sassuolo (Italian pronunciation: [sasˈswɔːlo]), is an Italian professional football club based in Sassuolo, Emilia-Romagna.[3] Their colours are black and green, hence the nickname Neroverdi (literally "black and greens", in Italian).
Sassuolo participated in Serie A from the 2013–14 season until their relegation in the 2023–24 season, joining a select group of teams to have played in Serie A without belonging to a provincial capital city, such as Savoia (Torre Annunziata), Empoli, Legnano, Pro Patria (Busto Arsizio), Carpi, and Casale.[4][5]
