History

Hellas Verona was founded in 1903 by a group of Greek students, who named the club “Hellas” (the Greek word for Greece) at the request of a professor of classics. In the early years, football was played seriously only in larger cities, but when Verona’s Roman amphitheatre became a venue for the game, crowd enthusiasm and media interest began to rise. Hellas Verona emerged as one of the area’s top teams, competing against regional rivals and establishing an intense rivalry with Vicenza. In 1919, the team merged with city rival Verona and changed its name to Hellas Verona. The gialloblu struggled to remain competitive in Serie A but finally achieved their goal after 28 years.
