ASD Reggiana Calcio Femminile

Associazione Sportiva Dilettantistica Reggiana Calcio Femminile, known as Reggiana Calcio Femminile[1][2] or Reggiana for short, was an Italian women's football club from Reggio Emilia, but under licensed to plays as Sassuolo Calcio Femminile for sponsorship reason, since 2016.

Originally established in 1976 as A.C. Santa Croce,[3] it adopted its current name in 1981, and five years later it was promoted to the top tier.

In 2010 Reggiana won its third national cup,[4] but the following year it was again relegated to fourth-tier Serie C. Due to the persistent difficulty in founding funds to guarantee the club survival every season, in 2016 the owners made a deal with U.S. Sassuolo Calcio, which made an offer to the property in order to fulfill a law imposing a women's team to Serie A and Serie B teams starting from the 2017-18 football season.

The club remains known as ASD Reggiana Calcio Femminile for federal bureaucracy,[citation needed] but becomes A.S.D.

Sassuolo Calcio Femminile, changing the colours from maroon to blue, licensing the team with its giuridical name and its main sponsor Mapei.
