history

Beginnings

Frosinone Calcio, an association from the Latin city ​​of Frosinone , was founded on March 5, 1906 as Union Sportive Frusinate . The club with the name US Frosinone played during the time of the fascist regime in Italy under "Duce" Benito Mussolini , especially in tournaments. At the time of the Mussolini government, the US Frosinone called itself for a time " 119.a Legione MVSN ", that was the name of the so-called black shirts , the fighting leagues in Italy in the interwar period . The US Frosinone was then finally renamed Frosinone Calcio in 1928. Four years later, the Stadio Comunale Matusa was built in Frosinone . At the beginning, this stadium was still a sports field with a fenced-in playing field without stands . The first spectator tiers were not built until the late thirties . Today the “Matusa” holds almost 10,000 spectators.

In 1934 Frosinone Calcio succeeded for the first time in reaching the Prima Divisione, renamed Series C a little later . At that time, top teams such as Udinese Calcio , FC Parma and AC Siena also played there . In general, an upcoming top club seemed to be developing in Frosinone at that time. But with the beginning of the Second World War in 1939, the advance of Frosinone Calcio also ended. The club's soccer team has now disappeared from the scene.

reconstruction

After the club disappeared from the top leagues in the turmoil of World War II, the football department was revived in 1945. You started in the Prima Divisione Laziale . Two years later, he was promoted to Serie C again . Until 1952, the club was able to hold in the third highest Italian division for five years. That year, the leap into the newly founded IV series was made . The IV series existed from 1952 to 1959 and was the third highest league in Italian football. Until the end of the IV series, Frosinone Calcio was represented in this league. In the 1958/59 season, the club was excluded from the IV series, as serious riots broke out during a championship game against Cosenza Calcio , which had their origin in the Frosinones block. During these riots there were fights between the so-called "fans" of Frosinone Calcio and the Italian police . In addition, was referee of a thrown from the Frosinone block object hit in the head and was for a time powerless . The consequence of the exclusion was the descent from the IV series, which was abolished after this season anyway, and the reduction in the Series D . A promotion to Serie C would have been possible in terms of sport.

Third to fifth class

After the reduction to Serie D, the fourth division, Frosinone initially found it difficult to return to the upper leagues. They stayed in Serie D until 1966, before being promoted to Serie C again, and after a year they immediately went down again with the US Cremonese and Vis Pesaro . In 1971, he was promoted to Serie C again. This season, the goalkeeper from Frosinone Calcio allowed just eight goals against in 34 games. In Serie C, the yellow-blue played four good seasons. The best placement was a seventh place in 1971/72. But three years later the time in the third division was over and the relegation to Serie D followed again. During this time, Serie C2, now called Lega Pro Seconda Divisione , was founded, which replaced Serie D as the fourth division and the latter now made the fifth division. Frosinone Calcio made it to Serie C2 in 1978, but relegation followed in the first season in the new league. Again only two years later, they returned to the fourth division. Frosinone Calcio was able to establish itself there in the following years.
