Atlanta Football Club Atalanta Bergamasca Calcio (Italian: Atalanta Bergamasca Calcio) is a football club located in Bergamo, Lombardy, Italy. It currently competes in the Italian Serie A. Its main venue is the Stadio Atleti Azzurri d\'Italia, and its jersey is blue and black. This team was founded in 1907, officially competed in the Italian Professional League in 1929, and competed in Serie A for the first time in 1937, but was relegated immediately. For a long time, Atalanta has been wallowing in the secondary league. Apart from the Italian Cup, its best achievement is the Serie B championship. Atalanta has been in the middle of the pack since promotion in 2006, only to be relegated to Serie B in 2009 and return to the top flight the following year. Atlanta has cultivated many talents for the Italian national team, the most famous ones include Donadoni, Vieri, Inzaghi and so on. Atalanta was founded in 1907 by a group of wealthy Swiss immigrants. It was originally called "Atalanta Bergamasca di Ginnastica e Sports Atletici "Atalanta" (Società Bergamasca di Ginnastica e Sports Atletici "Atalanta"), named after a goddess in Greek mythology. The new club was not recognized by the Italian Football Federation until 1914. In 1924, Atlanta merged with the Bergamasca di Ginnastica e Scherma in the same city to form the Atalanta and Bergamasca di Ginnastica e Scherma, which moved to its current location in 1928. Atalanta began participating in the Italian Football League in 1929. It was not promoted to Serie A for the first time until 1937, but was then relegated and returned to its original form. Atalanta made a comeback in Serie A in 1940 and remained in the top league until 1958. After just one season, they won the Serie B championship and returned to Serie A. In 1963, they defeated Turin 3-1 to win the Italian Cup for the first time. In 1969, Atalanta finished last and were relegated to Serie B. In 1970, the three Serie B teams scored 47 points and ranked second in the standings. Atalanta won two games in the play-offs and qualified for promotion. However, he was demoted again two years later and began a long period of ups and downs between Group A and Group B. Atalanta's best result in Serie A was fifth place in 1948, but they were relegated to Serie C for the first time in 1981. Fortunately, they returned to Serie B as champions in just one season. In 1984, they won the Serie B championship and were promoted to Serie A. But Atlanta is still a lifter, being demoted in 1987, 1994, 1998, 2003, 2005 and 2010. Atalanta has won only one major trophy, the only trophy being the Coppa Italia won in 1963. It is even more insignificant in the European arena. The best results were to advance to the semi-finals of the 1988 European Cup and the quarter-finals of the 1991 UEFA Cup. Atlanta's youth training system has produced countless famous stars, including Donadoni (former national team coach), Alessio Tacchinardi, Domenico Morfeo, Giampaolo Pazzini, Riccardo Montolivo, Ivan Pelizzoli and Samuele Dalla Bona, etc., who have been acquired by major clubs one by one. Famous players who have played for the club include Claudio Caniggia, Glenn Strömberg, Alemão, Paolo Montero, Christian Vieri, Filippo Inzaghi, Gianluigi Lentini, Cristiano Lucarelli and Cristiano Doni, etc. Honors Italian Cup Championship (1): 1963; Serie B Championship Championship (5): 1939/40, 1958/59, 1983/84, 2005/06, 2010/2011; Serie C Championship Championship (1): 1981/82;
