history

The association Società Sportiva Dilettantistica Città di Brindisi was founded in 1912 in Brindisi , a port city with now around 90,000 inhabitants in the southern Italian region of Apulia . Initially, the newly founded club was called Brindisi Sport . After a few years in regional football, Brindisi Sport made it to Serie C for the first time in 1938 and stayed in the third Italian football league until the war-related break in league operations between 1943 and 1945. In the qualifying round for Serie B 1945/46, the Apulian club continues to be successful and achieved the first doctorate for the second class. From 1946 Brindisi Sport started for the first time in Serie B, in the first year the eighth place in the table in the Girone C was occupied. A year later, however, things went less well for Brindisi, they were only eighteenth in their season and after two years in Serie B they were relegated to the third highest division. In 34 league games, a point yield of just eighteen points was achieved, which clearly meant last place.

After relegation from Serie B, Brindisi first played in third class for four years before being passed through to the sixth division until 1956. From this Prima Divisione the club improved little by little, rose twice in succession in 1958 and 1959 and finally played again in the fourth-class Serie D from 1959/60 . They were represented there for many years and increasingly approached the regions of promotion, before the return to third class was achieved in 1967/68 with first place in the Girone H of the D series. There they were able to re-establish themselves quickly and only four years later they came first in Girone C with five points ahead of US Lecce and thus brought promotion back to Serie B after more than twenty years. Under coach Luís Vinício , later successful in Naples , Rome and Udine , Brindisi Sport managed to stay in the Serie B in 1972/73 with seventh place. Ten points separated the club from the first relegated, but only eight from the promotion ranks. It was the last great successful years of football in Brindisi. While in the Coppa Italia could occasionally cause a sensation, the Association for the mid-seventies was an integral part of the series B. By 1976, played Brindisi Sport second-rate, and had with Giovanni Invernizzi from 1974 to 1975 even a former champion coach of Inter Milan as Coach under contract. In 1975/76, however, they were only nineteenth in Serie B and had to return to Serie C with a gap of eight points on the first non-relegation place occupied by Catania Calcio .

In the years that followed, Brindisi Sport moved between Series C1 and Series C2 for a long time . After relegation from the C1 series in 1990, the club went bankrupt and was re-established as Brindisi Calcio . They worked their way back to Serie C2 by 2002, but were again bankrupt just two years later. Newly founded and under the name Football Brindisi in 1912 they rose again to the Lega Pro Seconda Divisione, in 2011 the third collapse in the club's history followed. For the third time the club was re-established and this time it was named SSD Città di Brindisi . Città di Brindisi was divided into Serie D, where the club played from 2011 to 2015.

On May 19, 2015, it became known that club officials had manipulated the team's results as part of a betting fraud scandal known as "Dirty Soccer". In the following process, the club was excluded from Serie D on August 31, 2015 for the 2015/16 season . On September 6, it was announced that the club would not take part in the sixth grade promozione. Instead, the club was re-established under the name ASD Brindisi and took over the playing rights of the city's rival Real Paradiso Brindisi. Since the 2016/17 season the club has been playing in the sixth class Promozione Pugliese. In 2017 the club was renamed Brindisi Football Club .
