Il professore di greco degli studenti fondatori del Verona, Decio Corubolo, consigliò di chiamare il club Hellas in onore dell'antica Ellade, ovvero l'attuale Grecia. Il primo presidente fu il conte Fratta Pasini.

Maurizio Setti, ex vice-presidente e comproprietario del Bologna, è il numero uno dell'Hellas Verona. Dopo essere entrato in società come socio di maggioranza con l'80% delle quote, nel marzo del 2013 ha acquistato l'intero pacchetto azionario del club gialloblù.

Il Verona ha scelto il giallo e blu per la propria squadra in virtù dei colori oro e azzurro preseneti nello stemma di Verona. Inizialmente, però, l'Hellas indossava una maglia a quarti bianca e nera. Dal 1909 si scelsero gli attuali colori del club.

L'Hellas Verona gioca allo Stadio Marcantonio Bentegodi le proprie partite casalinghe. L'impianto è dedicato alla memoria di Bentegodi, benefattore dello sport cittadino alla fine dell'800.

Lo Stadio del Verona (in passato anche del Chievo) può ospitare 31.045 spettatori. Inaugurato nel 1963, ha ospitato i Mondiali del 1990. I posti complessivi sono in realtà 39 211, ma più di 8.000 non sono omologati.

Arnaldo Porta, storico giocatore del Verona dei primi decenni del '900, è il massimo marcatore all-time del club giallobù. Nessuno, in cento anni di Hellas, è riuscito a superare le sue 74 reti segnate tra il 1914 e il 1930.

Il Verona ha giocato solo una volta in Champions League, all'epoca Coppa dei Campioni: nel 1985/1986, però, il viaggio dell'Hellas si è fermato agli ottavi del torneo. In Coppa UEFA/Europa League, invece, i gialloblù hanno raggiunto i quarti nel 1987/1988.

Alla pari di Porta, anche il record di partite giocate con il Verona è vecchio di quasi cent'annii. Luigi Bernardi, in maglia gialloblù tra il 1927 e il 1939, ha disputato ben 337 gare. Eugenio Mascetti, in squadra tra gli anni '60 e '80, si fermato a 328.

Osvaldo Bagnoli, storico allenatore dello Scudetto, ha guidato il Verona tra 1981 e il 1990. In un decenio come mister dell'Hellas ha messo insieme 384 partite, con 144 vittori, 138 pareggi e 102 sconfitte.

L'Hellas, infatti, dovette fare i conti con un periodo deludente dal punto di vista sportivo, con la caduta in Serie B nel 2002 e dunque quella in C nel 2007 dopo sessantaquattro anni.
