History
Atalanta was founded on 17 October 1907 by students of the Liceo Classico Paolo Sarpi and was named after the female athlete of the same name from Greek mythology. Though it immediately established a football sector, it was not the first football association based in Bergamo: Football Club Bergamo was founded by Swiss emigrants in 1904, and was absorbed into another club, Bergamasca, in 1911.
Atalanta's first major success came in 1937, when they won the Serie A title. However, they were relegated the following season and did not return to the top flight until 1940. They have since spent most of their time in Serie A, with occasional spells in Serie B and Serie C.
Atalanta's most recent success came in the 2019–20 season, when they finished third in Serie A and qualified for the Champions League for the first time in their history. They also reached the semi-finals of the Coppa Italia in the same season.
