Football Club Crotone, a sporting emblem of the city of Crotone in the Calabria region, Italy, is known for its passionate supporters and distinctive nicknames: 'Pitagorici,' referencing the Magna Graecia heritage and the philosopher Pythagoras's stay in ancient Kroton, and 'Squali' (Sharks), reflecting their fighting spirit. The club's history dates back to September 20, 1910, with the foundation of Società Sportiva Crotona, although its affiliation with the Italian Football Federation (FIGC) and participation in official tournaments would come later. Over more than a century, Crotone has navigated various tiers of Italian football, experiencing moments of success, such as their Serie A appearances, and also periods of rebuilding after financial difficulties and refoundations, the most recent with the current name adopted at the end of the 2000-2001 season.
Currently, the team competes in Serie C, the national third division, aiming to climb the ranks and offer its fans the excitement of top-level competition. The Stadio Ezio Scida, with a capacity exceeding 16,000 spectators, is the fortress where the 'Rossoblù' (Red and Blues), for their traditional colours, fight for every victory, creating a vibrant and unique stadium atmosphere.
