Perugia Calcio is an Italian football club based in the picturesque city of Perugia, Umbria, currently competing in Serie C, the third division. The club, whose full name is Associazione Calcistica Perugia, plays its home games at the Stadio Renato Curi. Founded in 1905, the team's colors are red and white. Perugia's most famous chapter came in the late 1970s when, under the management of Ilario Castagner, they achieved an unprecedented and still-legendary feat: going the entire 1978-79 Serie A season unbeaten, yet finishing as runners-up to AC Milan. That squad, featuring players like Franco Vannini, earned the nickname "I Grifoni" (The Griffins) and a permanent place in calcio folklore. In the modern era, the club has experienced fluctuations between Serie B and Serie C, working to recapture past glories. The fanbase remains deeply passionate, filling the Curi with a vibrant and loyal support. Perugia Calcio continues to be a proud institution, representing its region with a fighting spirit reminiscent of its historic unbeaten campaign.
