About US Alessandria Calcio

US Alessandria Calcio is a historic Italian football club based in Alessandria, Piedmont, founded in 1912. It is one of the oldest clubs in the country and became an important part of early Italian football development. The team is known by its nickname “I Grigi” due to its traditional grey kit and has long represented its city in national competitions.

The club experienced its strongest period in the early decades of Italian football, especially between the two World Wars, when it was part of the group of strong Piedmont teams that shaped the national game. Alessandria spent multiple seasons in Serie A and Serie B and reached the Coppa Italia final in 1936. Its greatest Serie A performances included high finishes in the early professional era of the league.

In later decades, Alessandria moved frequently between divisions and faced financial instability, including bankruptcy and refoundations. Despite these challenges, it continued to compete in Italian professional football and achieved occasional promotions, maintaining its historic identity. Today, it is recognized as a traditional club with deep roots in the origins of Italian football and a long-standing regional legacy.
