History

Mantova 1911, commonly referred to as Mantova, is an Italian professional football club based in Mantua (Italian: Mantova), Lombardy. Mantova had played consecutively in Serie A from the 1961–62 season to 1964–65, and from the 1966–67 season to 1967–68 as Associazione Calcio Mantova, when the team was called "Little Brazil", as its playing style recalled Brazilian football. Since 2010, the club went bankrupt twice and continuously played between Serie D, Lega Pro Seconda Divisione, and the new Serie C under the name Mantova F.C. After another relegation to Serie D in 2023, the club was readmitted to the third division, winning it immediately and returning to Serie B in 2024 after 14 years.
