Mantova 1911 S.r.l.: the football team of Mantova
Hello everyone! Today I'll talk to you about Mantova 1911 S.r.l., the football team of our beautiful city of Mantova. Founded in 2017, the team is part of the third division of the Italian football championship, namely Serie C.
But don't think that this is a recent story: the sporting tradition of football in Mantova began as far back as 1906, when Ardiccio Modena and Guglielmo Reggiani founded Mantua Football Club. This society did not last long, but two new clubs took its place: Vis et Virtus and Gruppo del Calcio. In 1911, these two clubs joined forces to form the Mantovana Football Association (A.M.C.), which would participate in its first real championship in 1914-1915.
From the foundation to World War II
Mantova, at that time called Associazione Calcio Mantova, participated in Prima Categoria, the highest football championship of the time, and immediately proved to be a strong team. In 1919-1920, in fact, Mantova obtained third place in the Emilia division; The following year, instead, it qualified for the national phase and finished the division in third place on equal points with Padova.
But Mantova did not limit itself to playing football: during the First World War, it organized matches and friendlies that would contribute to laying the foundations for the team we know today.
From the post-war period to the present day
After the golden years of the 1920s and 1930s, Mantova suffered a long series of ups and downs, alternating good performances with periods of crisis and relegation until the bankruptcy of 2010. From here, the Mantova Football Club was born, which played in Serie C until the 2017-2018 season when it was removed from the championship due to formal and financial non-compliance.
But the passion for football in Mantova did not die, and so Mantova 1911 S.r.l., a new team that has picked up the legacy of the previous ones and that is trying to bring Mantova to the national and international football stage, was born.
From successes to Serie C
Mantova can boast seven participations in Serie A in a single group, and in 1970-1971 it won the Serie B championship. The team also finished third in the Coppa Italia 1961-1962 and has accumulated countless victories and satisfactions over the years.
Today, the team is engaged in Serie C, where it is trying to demonstrate its worth and to bring the colors of Mantova ever higher.
Conclusions
In conclusion, Mantova 1911 S.r.l. is a football team with a long and prestigious tradition, heir to a story that has deep roots. Despite the ups and downs, the passion for football in Mantova has never died, and today the team is doing its best to carry on the city's sporting tradition and to conquer new victories and successes.
