'''Associazione Sportiva Reggina 1914''', commonly referred to as '''Reggina''', is an [[Football in Italy|Italian football]] club based in [[Reggio Calabria]]. They play their home matches at the 27,763-seater [[Stadio Oreste Granillo]] and are currently playing in the [[Serie D]].

They are nicknamed the ''Amaranto'' (amaranth) after their official dark red colour. The club was formerly known as '''Reggina Calcio''' before declaring bankruptcy in 2015, as well as '''A.S.D. Reggio Calabria''' in the 2015–16 season, '''Urbs Reggina 1914''' from 2016 to 2019, '''Reggina 1914''' from 2019 to 2023, and '''LFA Reggio Calabria''' in the 2023–24 season.

In its previous guise, the club played in the [[Serie A]] for nine seasons between 1999 and 2009, including a seven-year consecutive run from 2002. During these years, the club narrowly avoided relegation in most seasons and never finished in the top half of the table. After failing to return in the first few years, the club fell into financial and sporting difficulties, culminating in relegation to the lower tiers of Italian football before returning to Serie B in 2020.

==Names==
The club was founded on 11 January 1914 as '''Unione Sportiva Reggio Calabria'''. It changed name many times ('''Società Calcistica Reggio''', '''Reggio Foot Ball Club''', '''Associazione Sportiva Reggina''', '''Società Sportiva La&nbsp;Dominante'''), finally assuming the denomination '''Reggina Calcio''' in 1986.

After the 2015 bankruptcy, the club had used '''A.S.D. Reggio Calabria''' as the new name of the new legal person, and then the club changed to the denomination '''Urbs Reggina 1914 [[Società a responsabilità limitata|S.r.l]].''' in 2016, and, between 2019 and 2023, '''Reggina 1914 S.r.l.'''.

Following the most recent club exclusion in 2023, the club was refounded as '''LFA Reggio Calabria'''.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.seried24.com/news/reggina-nuova-denominazione-serie-d-15-settembre-2023/ |publisher=SerieD24.com |language=it |date=15 September 2023 |title=Fenice Amaranto si chiamerà LFA Reggio Calabria: le ultime }}</ref>

==History==
{{recentism|date=May 2019}}

The club was founded on 11 January 1914.

In 1986, Pasquale "Lillo" Foti became [[managing director]] of the newly re-formed and renamed Reggina Calcio. In 1991, he became president.

===Serie A (1999–2009)===
From the late 1990s to the 2000s, Reggina has been alternating between the top two levels of the Italian league system. They reached the top division of Italian football, [[Serie A]], for the first time in 1999.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://archiviostorico.gazzetta.it/1999/giugno/17/Colomba_Reggina_riparte_ga_0_9906175524.shtml|title=Colomba Reggina, si riparte|date=17 June 1999|access-date=25 May 2019|newspaper=La&nbsp;Gazzetta dello Sport|publisher=RCS MediaGroup|location=Milan|language=it|last=Caruso|first=Francesco}}</ref> [[2000–01 Serie A|Two years later]], they lost a relegation playout to [[Hellas Verona F.C.|Verona]], being consequently relegated to [[2001–02 Serie B]].<ref>{{cite news|url=http://archiviostorico.gazzetta.it/2001/giugno/25/Alla_fine_gode_Verona_Reggio_ga_0_0106255287.shtml|title=Alla fine gode Verona: Reggio dal sogno all' incubo|date=25 June 2001|access-date=25 May 2019|newspaper=La&nbsp;Gazzetta dello Sport|publisher=RCS MediaGroup|location=Milan|language=it|last1=Condo'|first1=Paolo|last2=Caruso|first2=Francesco|last3=Archetti|first3=Pierfrancesco|last4=Capone|first4=Antonello}}</ref> Reggina finished third in Serie B in 2002, earning a return to Serie A. In [[2002–03 Serie A|2003]], Reggina survived a relegation playout against [[Atalanta B.C.|Atalanta]]. They would spend the next 7 years maintaining their Serie A status until their eventual relegation in the 2008–09 season.

In August 2006, they were indicted as part of the second wave of ''[[Calciopoli]]'' investigations. Originally punished with a 15-point deduction for the [[2006–07 Serie A]],<ref>{{cite news |url= http://www.uefa.com/footballeurope/news/Kind=2/newsId=446293.html |title= Reggina given Serie A reprieve |website= [[UEFA]] |date= 17 August 2006 |access-date= 18 August 2006 |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20071016151819/http://www.uefa.com/footballeurope/news/Kind%3D2/newsId%3D446293.html |archive-date = 16 October 2007 |url-status= dead |df= dmy-all}}</ref> then reduced to 11 points following appeal.<ref>{{cite news
|url=http://msn.foxsports.com/soccer/story/6264372|title=Reggina match-fixing penalty reduced by four points|website=foxsports.com|date=12 December 2006|access-date=12 December 2006}} {{dead link|date=May 2019}}</ref> Despite the heavy deduction of points, Reggina managed to save themselves from relegation, defeating newly crowned [[2006–07 UEFA Champions League|UEFA Champions League]] winners [[A.C. Milan|Milan]] on the final matchday and ending the season with 40 points (including the deduction), just one single point above the third relegation spot, occupied by [[A.C. ChievoVerona|Chievo]]. They poorly started the [[Serie A 2007-08]], causing head coach [[Massimo Ficcadenti]] to be sacked and replaced by [[Renzo Ulivieri]].<ref name="ulivieri_reggina">{{cite web|url=http://www.channel4.com/sport/football_italia/nov1m.html|work=Football Italia|publisher=Channel 4|date=1 November 2007|access-date=1 November 2007|title=Reggina call on Ulivieri |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20071103030212/http://www.channel4.com/sport/football_italia/nov1m.html <!-- Bot retrieved archive --> |archive-date = 3 November 2007}}</ref> A third managerial change, with Ulivieri fired and replacing with team scout [[Nevio Orlandi]], proved to be successful as Reggina improved their results and performances, escaping relegation with key wins at Catania, and home to Empoli. Orlandi was subsequently confirmed at the helm of the ''amaranto'' for the [[Serie A 2008–09]].

===Serie B (2009–2014)===
Since their relegation in the 2008–09 season, Reggina has become slightly inconsistent{{according to whom|date=May 2019}} in their attempts to return to Italy's top flight. The 2009–10 season would see three coaches at the helm: [[Walter Novellino]], [[Ivo Iaconi]], [[Roberto Breda]]. Despite possessing Bonazzoli, Carmona, Tedesco, Brienza, and homegrown star Missiroli, they were unable to improve on 13th.<ref>{{cite web| url=http://www.football-lineups.com/team/Reggina/Serie_B_2009-2010/Fixture/ |title= Reggina Serie 2009–10 stats| publisher=Football-Lineups}}</ref> Disappointing for a team just relegated from the top division. The top goalscorer for the campaign was [[Franco Brienza]] with 12 goals.

The 2010–11 season was regarded as one of the Amaranto's best in Serie B. Shockingly they would conduct their usual coaching merry-go-round, as [[Gianluca Atzori]] would lead them to a 6th-place finish and playoffs to Serie A.<ref name="football-lineups.com">{{cite web| url=http://www.football-lineups.com/team/Reggina/Serie_B_2010-2011|title= Reggina Serie 2010–2011 stats| publisher=Football-Lineups}}</ref> they would stumble at the last hurdle losing to Novara in a two-legged playoff. Top players include Acerbi, Missiroli, Tedesco, Brienza, Bonazzoli (C) and [[Milan]] Loanee Adiyiah. Top goal scorer: Bonazzoli with 19 goals<ref name="football-lineups.com" />

The 2011–12 season was another disappointing season for the Amaranto, with a 12th-placed finish. Two coaches took charge of Reggina this season: [[Roberto Breda]] initially, before being sacked and replaced by [[Angelo Gregucci]], only to be replaced by Breda again towards the end of the season. Unlike the previous season, they did not make the play-offs.<ref>{{cite web| url=http://www.football-lineups.com/season/Reggina/2011-2012/|title= Reggina Serie 2011–12 stats| publisher=Football-Lineups}}</ref>

The 2012–13 season would be marred by yet another controversy similar to that of 2006. Reggina were penalized for the latest match-fixing scandal that hit Italian shores and were given a −4 penalty as a result.<ref>{{cite web| url=http://www.marca.com/2012/06/18/en/football/international_football/1340053974.html|title=First punishments in Italian football corruption scandal| publisher=Marca}}</ref> After appeal it was reduced to −2 instead. They were in contention for playoff places right up to the last few rounds, but poor form saw them finish 11th.

The 2013–14 season ended in disaster, as Reggina won just six out of 42 games and finished second bottom, resulting in relegation to [[Lega Pro]]. The season also marked Foti's retirement from his role as president, with Giuseppe Ranieri taking over.

===Lega Pro===
For the club's [[2014–15 Lega Pro]] campaign, Reggina began the season with former captain [[Francesco Cozza (footballer)|Francesco Cozza]] as head coach. After a difficult start to the season and two coaching changes, [[Campionato Nazionale Dante Berretti|youth team]] coach and former player [[Giacomo Tedesco]] was hired as head coach for the final three weeks of the season. Despite winning two of the final three matches, Reggina finished last in the league and would have to rely on an appeal of their point penalty to lift them out of the relegation zone. The appeal was successful, and 2 points were returned, moving them out of last place. Tedesco guided the team to survival in the playoff over rivals Messina.

===Serie D one-year stint===
Despite avoiding relegation in the 2014–15 season, Reggina failed to meet the deadline to register for Lega Pro and the club declared bankruptcy.<ref>{{cite news

===Back to Serie C===
In June 2016, it was reported that the club was renamed from "S.S.D. Reggio Calabria a r.l." to "S.S.D. Urbs Sportiva Reggina 1914 a r.l.".<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.strettoweb.com/2016/06/reggina-ufficiale-il-cambio-di-denominazione-benvenuta-urbs-sportiva-reggina-1914-stop-a-dubbi-e-fantasie/425585/|title=Reggina, ufficiale il cambio di denominazione: benvenuta "Urbs Sportiva Reggina 1914", stop a dubbi e fantasie|date=17 June 2016|access-date=15 May 2018|website=Strettoweb |publisher=Editore Socedit|language=it}}</ref> The club was then renamed as Urbs Reggina 1914 [[Società a responsabilità limitata|S.r.l]].

Despite finishing as the losing side in the first round of the promotion playoffs of [[2015–16 Serie D]], the club filed for Lega Pro (later renamed Serie C) repechage to fill one of the vacancies for the 2016–17 season<ref>{{cite press release|url=http://www.reggiocal.it/on-line/Home/StrutturaUffici/UfficieServizi/RisorseUmaneePatrimonioCollettivo/Decentramento/articolo108910.html|title=Licenza d'Uso alla Urbs Reggina per lo Stadio Oreste Granillo|date=2016|access-date=15 May 2018|publisher=Comune di Reggio Calabria|language=it|archive-date=15 May 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190515102334/http://www.reggiocal.it/on-line/Home/StrutturaUffici/UfficieServizi/RisorseUmaneePatrimonioCollettivo/Decentramento/articolo108910.html|url-status=dead}}</ref> and was successfully admitted.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.gazzetta.it/Calcio/Serie-B/04-08-2016/lega-pro-ripescaggi-reggina-taranto-tornano-professionisti-160595877711.shtml|title= Lega Pro, i ripescaggi: Reggina e Taranto tornano tra i professionisti |trans-title=Lega Pro, the repechage: Reggina and Taranto back among the professionals|date=4 August 2016|access-date=15 May 2018|location=Milan|work=La&nbsp;Gazzetta dello Sport|publisher=RCS MediaGroup|language=it}}</ref> Reggina ended the season in 13th place.

In January 2019, facing a crisis with a potential player strike due to non-payment of salaries,{{citation needed|date=May 2019}} the club was sold to Italian entrepreneur Luca Gallo.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.corrieredellosport.it/news/calcio/lega-pro-serie-d/lega-pro/2019/01/10-51900022/serie_c_reggina_luca_gallo_e_il_nuovo_proprietario_del_club/|title=Serie C Reggina, Luca Gallo è il nuovo proprietario del club|date=10 January 2019|access-date=25 May 2019|newspaper=Corriere dello Sport|language=it|location=Reggio Calabria|publication-place=Rome}}</ref>

On 1 July 2019, the club announced a change in name to "Reggina 1914 S.r.l.".<ref>{{cite press release|url=https://reggina1914.it/cambio-denominazione-sociale/|title=Cambio denominazione sociale|date=1 July 2019|access-date=1 July 2019|publisher=Reggina 1914|language=it|archive-date=1 July 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190701163705/https://reggina1914.it/cambio-denominazione-sociale/|url-status=dead}}</ref>

===Serie B return===
Reggina won its Serie C group in [[2019–20 Serie C|2020]], earning a promotion back to the [[Serie B]] for the upcoming season. The team, upon its Serie B return, included experienced players from higher levels, including [[Jérémy Ménez]] and [[Germán Denis]].

In the [[2023–24 Serie B|2022-23]] season under the guidance of manager [[Filippo Inzaghi]], Reggina finished in a playoff position, despite suffering a five-point deduction for failing to pay taxes and player salaries on time. The deduction was initially seven points, but was reduced to five following an appeal.

===2023 exclusion and restart===
On 1 July 2023, Reggina was excluded from Serie B for the [[2023–24 Serie B|2023-24]] season after Covisoc rejected their application due to financial irregularities.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://football-italia.net/reggina-excluded-from-serie-b-lecco-allowed-in/ | title=Reggina excluded from Serie B, Lecco allowed in - Football Italia | date=7 July 2023 }}</ref> On appeal, the Federal Council confirmed Reggina's exclusion. At the next level of appeal, the ''Collegio di Garanzia'' of the [[Italian Olympic Committee]] withheld the decision. On 3 August, the Administrative Court of Rome again rejected Reggina's request for readmission. On 30 August, Reggina was again rejected at the final level of appeals, the [[Council of State (Italy)|Council of State]]. Brescia was readmitted to the league after Reggina's confirmed exclusion.

On 1 September 2023, acting mayor of the Metropolitan City of Reggio Calabria, Paolo Brunetti, received approval from the [[Italian Football Federation]] to enroll a club in [[Serie D]] for the 2023–24 season. The club was successively handed over to a Catania-based consortium led by Antonino Ballarino, named '''La Fenice Amaranto''' (The amaranth phoenix), which submitted a league application and will take part to the season under the new denomination of '''LFA Reggio Calabria''', as the new club was forbidden to use the Reggina 1914 name or logo for the upcoming season.{{Why|reason=What is reason the club can't use Reggina 1914?|date=October 2023}}

On 29 May 2024, Ballarino and LFA Reggio Calabria acquired the rights to the name and history of Reggina; the club was formally renamed to '''AS Reggina 1914''' on 18 July 2024.<ref name="name2024" />

==Rivalries==
Reggina are fierce rivals with neighbours [[A.C.R. Messina|Messina]], who are just a twenty-minute ferry ride apart from each other. Twice every season, they clash in the ''[[Derby dello Stretto]]'' ([[Strait of Messina]] Derby). In the 2014–15 season, Reggina defeated Messina in both legs of the playout to send Messina down to Serie D. There is also a major Calabrian derby between Reggina and [[F.C. Crotone|Crotone]], but both teams have not played in the same league in for two years. Reggina also has a derby with fellow Calabrian team [[U.S. Catanzaro 1929|Catanzaro]], which is currently in Serie B.

==Colours and badges==
Reggina used a logo with a letter R and a [[Ball (association football)|football]] on it. Some variant of the logo, had 1986, the year of foundation of Reggina Calcio on it.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.tuttoreggina.com/reggina-1914/reggina-ecco-il-logo-la-storia-della-r-stilizzata-l-evoluzione-dalla-prima-a-all-ultima-versione-prima-dell-oblio-47575|title=REGGINA, ECCO IL LOGO, la storia della R stilizzata: l'evoluzione dalla prima A all'ultima versione prima dell'oblio|date=28 February 2019|access-date=25 May 2019|work=tuttoreggina.com|language=it}}</ref> Due to 2015 bankruptcy, the new owner introduced a new logo as the old design was tied to the old legal person of the club.
