Football Club Crotone S.r.l., commonly referred to as Crotone, is an Italian football club based in Crotone, Calabria. Founded in 1910, it holds its home games at Stadio Ezio Scida, which has a 16,547-seat capacity.
History.
The club is based in the ancient Greek settlement of Kroton, one of the first Greek colonies in what is now known as modern day Italy. The club is proud of their Greek origins with their banners and slogans and regularly depicting Greek icons such as soldiers of Sparta.
The first team from Crotone, "Società sportiva Crotona", was founded as soon as September 1910, but without adhering to Italian Football Federation, and the following main teams of Crotone, like "Milone Crotone", did not participated before 1921-1923 in several minor leagues including "Prima Divisione" (which later would be known as Serie C). Following World War II, a new club, "Unione Sportiva Crotone" replaced the previous one, playing seven seasons in Serie C.
In 1963, the club was relegated to Serie D, but returned to the third division the following year, remaining there for fourteen consecutive seasons, missing promotion in 1977 when finishing third behind Bari and Paganese. In 1978, following the Italian football league reorganisation, Crotone was relegated to Serie C2 and the following year was declared bankrupt. A new club, "Associazione Sportiva Crotone", began competing again in the "Prima Categoria" (eighth division).
Crotone was promoted to Serie C2 in 1984–85, but only for one season. The team's name was changed to "Kroton Calcio", and the club was promoted again to C2 after the 1986–87 season, where it played until 1991. A second bankruptcy led to the foundation of Football Club Crotone Calcio with Raffaele Vrenna as chairman, starting in the "Promozione" (7th level). Crotone gained successive promotions to Serie C2 and C1, winning in the play-offs against Locri and Benevento, respectively.
Under Antonello Cuccureddu, Crotone first reached Serie B in 2000, returning to the second level two seasons later. Again in division two in 2004, after disposing of Viterbese in the promotion play-offs, it remained in the category until the 2006–07 season.
After being beaten by Taranto in the 2008 play-offs, Crotone returned to the second division the following season, defeating Benevento.
The team was promoted to Serie A, the Italian top flight, for the first time in its history in 2016. In the 2016–17 season, the club finished 17th, securing a place in the next Serie A season by beating Lazio 3–1 on the last matchday.
The following season, Crotone failed to avoid relegation after losing against Napoli in the last match of the Serie A campaign, returning to Serie B after two seasons. 
Following the 2019-2020 season, the club was promoted to Serie A once more. however, the club's campaign was less than satisfactory. After spending the majority of the season in the last spot of the table, and losing incredible matches that were an early indicator of the hardship the club would endure, Crotone was mathematically relegated to Serie B after 34 games, following a loss to would-be champions Inter.
