US Grosseto is an Italian football club founded in 1912 in the city of Grosseto.
In their early days the team competed in amateur football leagues. In 1921 they were admitted to the professional league starting out their way with the Promozione, the seventh tier of Italian league system. In the 1936/37 season, they broke into Serie C. since that time onwards, Grosseto led a largely unremarked existence rotating between the lowest divisions. In the 2006/07 season, the team finished atop of Serie C1 and won a direct promotion to Serie B, so in the 2007/08 campaign they recorded their first ever run into second tier. In 2009, the club reached the 6th place finish and that became their best achievement to date. They compete in Serie B till today.
Grosseto players are often nicknamed the Griffons after their logo depicting a griffon. They play their home matches at the 10,200 seater Stadio Olimpico Carlo Zecchini.
