Hellas Verona

Founded in 1903 as Associazione Calcio Hellas, the club was a founder member of Serie B in 1929-30 and won its only Italian championship in 1984-85, remaining the only club from a city that is not a regional capital to be champion since the modern Serie A began. It also reached two Coppa Italia finals in the 1980s and played in the European Cup. Nicknamed the Mastiffs and the Scaligeri after the family that ruled Verona in the Middle Ages, it plays at the Stadio Marcantonio Bentegodi.
