history

The club was founded in 1927 and took part in regular league operations for the first time in the 1931/32 season. The team got into the second division of a regional amateur league and was able to qualify for the first time for Serie B in 1934 , when the club was able to win the championship of Girone G in the third division and reached the promotions. After three years of decline followed in the C series . The team managed to stay in the league for ten years in a row and rose in 1948 in the promozione . L'Aquila won promotion to the third division ten more years later and stayed in Serie C for several years and fell into Serie D in 1969 . In the years that followed, the team remained largely without significant success when the club initially failed to return to professional football. As the runner-up of the Girone E of the D series, the team made it to the C2 series in 1979 .

Three years later, L'Aquila fell back to the amateur classes due to relegation from the league and only qualified eleven years later in 1993 as the winner of the Girone F of the five-class Serie D again for a professional league. After only one season, the move to the sixth class Eccellenza Abruzzese had to be accepted, although the team qualified as 6th in the fourth highest league on a sporting path for another year in the league. The bankruptcy of the club caused the Italian federation to withdraw the license for the time being and to classify the club in the sixth division. In the 1997/98 season, the return to professional football was achieved by winning the Girone F. With 74 points from 34 games, the team was only one point ahead of second-placed FC Rieti .

The club's greatest success in 30 years was achieved in the 1999/2000 season, when the team finished second in the fourth-class C2 series and made it to the next higher division.

After four years, the club finally rose back to fourth class as bottom of the table and was then excluded from the game for the second time after 1994 due to its insolvency and only admitted several months later to the sixth class Eccellenza Abruzzese . The return to the fifth-rate Serie D could be won after the successful 2008/09 season. In the following season, the club managed to move into the play-offs for promotion to the Lega Pro Seconda Divisione as fourth . However, the team lost 1-0 to Atessa Val di Sangro in the semifinals and thus missed the possible promotion. Due to the forced relegation of various upper class clubs, L'Aquila Calcio was classified in the fourth class Lega Pro Seconda Divisione for the 2010/11 season. In the 2012/13 season succeeded in the promotion playoffs by victories against Chieti Calcio and Teramo Calcio promotion to the third- tier Lega Pro Prima Divisione .

In 2016, the club moved from the Stadio Tommaso Fattori , which opened in 1933, to the Stadio Gran Sasso d'Italia-Italo Acconcia , which was renovated over several years .
