History
In 2014, the club was promoted in Serie D for the first time in its history after being crowned Eccellenza Sicily champions by the end of the 2013–14 season.[1] They played a total two seasons at the Serie D level, being relegated at the end of the 2015–16 Serie D campaign following a 0–1 relegation playoff loss to Gelbison.[2] The club was successively excluded from Eccellenza and had to restart from Prima Categoria,[3] returning to play Eccellenza only in 2022.[4]
