history

In November 1898 , twelve young people from Ascoli Piceno founded the first sports club in the Italian region of Marche . The crew was initially named after an officer of the Garibaldine troops , Candido Augusto Vecchi .

In 1905 the association changed its name to Ascoli-Vigor , mainly for political reasons . In 1925 work began on the Stadio Comunale dei Giardini , which was later renamed Stadio Squarcia . In 1926 the stadium was inaugurated with a friendly against Lazio Rome . In the following year Ascoli took part in an official championship for the first time and was promptly classified in first place, which meant the first promotion. Ascoli managed in the following years to confirm the good performance and to stay in the third Italian division.

After the Second World War , some quarters teams from Ascoli Piceno joined forces to form AS Ascoli ( Associazione Sportiva Ascoli ), but it took until the 1954/55 season for the club to resume playing in Serie IV. However, the club rose again that year. Therefore, another club merger with Del Duca followed in 1955 and the name of the club was changed to Del Duca Ascoli . Thus sporting success returned and 1958/59, the club returns to the third division, which now Series C 's.

In 1963 today's venue, the Stadio Cino e Lillo Del Duca , was completed. In 1968 Costantino Rozzi took over the presidency of the club, under his leadership things changed in Ascoli. Three years later the club was renamed again. He received his current name Ascoli Calcio in 1898 and rose to Serie B for the first time . Already in the first season they played for promotion to Serie A , but failed by one point. A year later, in 1973/74 , the first promotion to the highest Italian league was achieved under Carlo Mazzone . In the following years Ascoli played consistently in Serie A and was mostly classified in midfield - only fifth place 1979/80 falls out of line. Ascoli spent a total of 16 seasons in Serie A, with short interludes in the second division.

The series broke off abruptly for the 1994/95 season. First, the President Costantino Rozzi, who since then due to its great success in the club and its supporters died Presidentissimo is called, and then the club rose after more than 23 years back in the Series C from. A group of investors under the patronage of Nazzareno Cappelli was found to succeed the late President Costantino Rozzi. Roberto Benigni, the former vice-president, has been president of the club since the 2000/01 season.

In the 2005/06 season , Ascoli played again in Serie A after eleven years. However, this was not achieved in terms of sport, but as the beneficiary of several license withdrawals by the Italian Football Association. The clubs Torino Calcio and AC Perugia were each denied the license, so that they were excluded from promotion. The CFC Genoa was also denied promotion after the club was proven match-fixing. Together with the Treviso FBC, Ascoli moved up as a climber. At the end of the season, relegation was achieved with twelfth place. In the 2006/07 season they were only table-19. and thus went back to Serie B after two years. In 2012/13 there was even relegation to the third division, the Lega Pro Prima Divisione , after they finished 20th in the Serie B table and thus had to be relegated together with Vicenza Calcio , FC Pro Vercelli and US Grosseto . On December 15, 2013, the club, now playing in Serie C , officially filed for bankruptcy at the Tribunale di Ascoli .

On July 18, 2018, the name was changed to the current name of the club.
