Lecce, a historic Italian soccer club, is based in the city of Lecce, located in the southern region of Apulia. The club was founded in 1908 and has since had a rollercoaster journey. Lecce has primarily competed in the lower divisions of Italian football, but has had several stints in Serie A, the top tier of Italian football. The club's most notable achievement came in the 1984-1985 season when they finished third in Serie A, their highest ever league position. Lecce's home matches are played at the Stadio Via del Mare, which has a capacity of around 31,000 spectators. The club is affectionately known as "Giallorossi" due to their traditional yellow and red colors. An interesting fact about Lecce is that they have a strong local rivalry with fellow Apulian club Bari, which adds spice to their encounters.
