Founded on May 25, 1905, SSD Lucchese 1905 is one of the most established football clubs in the Tuscany region of Italy, proudly representing the city of Lucca. Their distinctive red and black colours have earned them the nickname "Rossoneri," an identity they carry with honour in every competition. Currently, the team competes in Serie C Group B, the third tier of the Italian league system, seeking to consolidate its sporting project and aspire to higher categories. The Stadio Porta Elisa, with a capacity of around 7,400 seats, is the fortress where Lucchese plays its home matches, a place steeped in history and football passion.
The history of Lucchese has been marked by ups and downs, including several seasons in Serie A, the elite of Italian football, the most recent in the 1951-1952 campaign. They have also had a notable presence in Serie B. Over the years, the club has faced financial challenges that have led to various refoundations, the most recent incarnation adopting the name S.S.D. Lucchese 1905 before its current denomination. These processes, though difficult, have underscored the strong connection between the team and its community, which has always responded to keep the flame of football alive in Lucca. The current management seeks stability and sustained growth, aiming to offer its supporters a future full of excitement and sporting success.
The Lucca court has declared Lucchese 1905 bankrupt. A solution is being sought to guarantee registration in Lega Pro for the 2025-2026 season.
