history

The Trapani Calcio association was founded in 1905 as Unione Sportiva Trapanese in Trapani , the seventh largest city in Sicily . In the first few years, the newly founded club did not take part in championships, but rather featured occasional games against high-class teams. Furthermore, a large number of name changes have taken place over the years. This did not end until 1952, when the club took on the name Associazione Sportiva Trapani and kept it until 1990. The sporting successes had, however, already set at that time, from 1946 to 1950 it acted for the first time for a long time in the third-tier Serie C . After relegation in 1950, it was not until 1958 that Trapani managed to return to the third division. Until the late 1970s, with a few very brief exceptions, they stayed in the third highest division and were able to establish themselves there.

With the classification in the newly founded series C2, today's Lega Pro Seconda Divisione , 1978, the creeping decline of the club began, which reached its peak in 1984, when it had to re-establish itself due to acute financial bottlenecks and now only still kicked at the provincial level. The financial problems persisted even after the re-establishment, which culminated in another bankruptcy in 1990 and the associated re-establishment under the new name Trapani Calcio . After that, the club succeeded, after many years of underclassiveness, to penetrate again into the third highest Italian division by 1994, where they stayed for three seasons in the following years.

The relegation from the C1 series in 1997 was followed by many years of unsuccessfulness. In addition, there were again problems of an economic nature, which, coupled with sporting failures, kept the club away from further participation in the third-highest league until 2011. It was only in the 2010/11 season, after having occupied second place in the final table of Girone C of the Lega Pro Seconda Divisione and also prevailed in the subsequent playoff games for promotion, the promotion to the Lega Pro Prima Divisione was achieved - after fourteen years. Back in the third division, the club was able to establish itself there and caused a sensation in recent years, especially due to its offensive style of play, which has been influenced by the acting coach Roberto Boscaglia since 2009, and only narrowly failed in the Lega Pro Prima Divisione 2011/12 due to its first promotion in the series B . After reaching a second place in the table of Girone B, only behind Spezia Calcio , they lost in the playoffs SS Virtus Lanciano , and thus missed the direct march into the second division. In the following season 2012/13, the first place in the Girone A of the Lega Pro Prima Divisione succeeded in direct promotion to the second-rate Serie B.
