history
Forlì Football Club was founded in 1919 in Forlì , a town with now around 120,000 inhabitants in the Forlì-Cesena province in the Emilia-Romagna region . The club spent the first few years of its existence in regional divisions, and in 1936 it was promoted to Serie C for the first time , the third highest division in Italy at the time . There the club stayed, then under the name AS Forlì until the war-related break in play from 1943 to 1945. In 1945/46 they took part in the qualifying round for Serie B and managed the Girone C as eleventh place in the second division. Thus, AS Forlì spent the first post-war season of Italian football in Serie B. There they could not keep up, however, and after the end of all game days as the nineteenth of the Girone B had to accept the direct relegation to the third division. There, too, Forlì did not know how to convince at all and only one year after relegation to the second division, it was passed straight through to the promozione, at that time the fourth highest division.
After two years they returned to Serie C, from which they were relegated two years later. It was now a decade of provincial football for AS Forlì before they could return to Serie C in 1958. The relegation followed seven years later. While the regional rival AC Cesena experienced a steady rise, which led the club to Serie A several times , AS Forlì moved between Serie C and Serie D for years . Until 1990 one found the club either in the third or fourth Italian division. After relegating from the C2 series that year, Forlì went bankrupt and was re-established for the first time. Relatively quickly, the club managed to return to Serie C2, but was again bankrupt at the end of the 1996/97 season and the sporting relegation from the fourth division. Again the club was re-established, started again in regional football and quickly returned to fourth division. But again the club faced financial bottlenecks, which led to the third bankruptcy in 2006.
When Forlì Football Club was re-established, the Eccellenza Emilia-Romagna started all over again. After the promotion to the now fifth-class Serie D was achieved in 2010, the club established itself in this league and two years later made the jump back to the Lega Pro Seconda Divisione. There they qualified as ninth of the Girone A after winning relegation games against AC Delta Porto Tolle Rovigo in the 2013/14 season for the reformed third division in Italy, which is now called Lega Pro .
