US Lecce
US Lecce (USL)
Overview
US Lecce represents the club from Apulia, the Italian boot's heel region. Founded in 1908, the Lecce club embodies southern passion and pride from a region often far from calcio's spotlights. The Giallorossi (Yellow and Red) play at the Stadio Comunale Via del Mare, a 33,000-capacity venue located on the Adriatic Sea coast offering exceptional setting and typically southern boiling atmosphere.
Lecce's history is punctuated by several Serie A periods, the club having succeeded in reaching the Italian elite several times despite its provincial southern formation status. The 1990s-2000s constitute the golden age with regular Serie A presence and memorable Via del Mare matches. This ability to rival northern giants testifies to the organization and passion animating the club.
Lecce embodies southern Italian football with assumed southern identity and passionate playing style. The club relies on a project based on solidarity and commitment to compensate budget differences with Milanese and Turin giants. The Giallorossi pursue their development with the ambition to remain sustainably in Serie A and proudly represent Apulia in calcio's elite, perpetuating a tradition of a club uniting an entire region behind its colors.
