Reggina Calcio is the main football club of the Italian city of Reggio Calabria. It was founded in 1914 as "Unione Sportiva Reggio Calabria". Then it changed its name many times: S.C. Reggio, Reggio F.B.C., A.S. Reggina, S.S. La Dominante, A.S. Reggina, and finally Reggina Calcio. Its stadium is the 27,763 seater Stadio Oreste Granillo.

In recent years, Reggina has been alternating between the top two levels of the Italian league. It reached the Italian first division Series A in 1999. Two years later, it lost a relegation playoff against Hellas Verona and dropped to Serie B. Reggina finished third in Serie B in 2002, earning a return to Series A. In 2003, Reggina survived a relegation playoff against Atalanta.

Former notable players include Shunsuke Nakamura and Andrea Pirlo.
