Mantova 1911, commonly referred to as Mantova, is an Italian professional football club based in Mantua (Italian: Mantova), Lombardy. Mantova had played consecutively in the Italian Serie A from the 1961-1962 season to 1964-1965 and from 1966-1967 season to 1967-1968 as Associazione Calcio Mantova, when the team was called "Little Brazil", as its playing style recalled Brazilian football.
Since 2010, the club went bankrupt twice and continuously played between Serie D, Lega Pro Seconda Divisione, and the new Serie C under the name Mantova F.C. and, since 2017, Mantova 1911. After another relegation to Serie D in 2023, the club was readmitted to the third division, winning it immediately and returning to Serie B in 2024 after 14 years.
