History
Early years
The history of the team begins on January 11, 1914 , when the Reggio Calabria Sports Union ( Italian: Unione Sportiva Reggio Calabria ) was founded. Initially, it consisted of 61 people. Each of the participants in the association has committed to pay a total of 15 pounds per person to the general fund each year. At that time, one of the main sports in the club was football. However, there were no suitable conditions for practicing this sport: they played football on a clay field (now the main hospital of the city of Ospedali Riuniti di Reggio Calabria is located there ), as well as in the area of the city called Modena. Only in 1922 the construction of the first stadium was started near the port of Reggio Calabria. The construction of the arena was completed in 1924, and it was called the Red Lantern ( Italian: Lanterna Rossa ).
Meanwhile, in 1922, the Reggio Calabria Sports Union entered the Italian Football Federation , and soon it received a new name - Reggio Calabria Football Club.
