It plays in Serie C, the third division of the Italian championship. The team experienced the best periods in its history in the sixties and seventies of the twentieth century, in Serie A, and above all in the first half of the nineties, playing four seasons in the top flight, coming close to qualifying for the UEFA Cup and gaining media exposure in European level for expressing an unprecedented, fast and attacking football.
On 23 April 2017, the club regained promotion to Serie B after a 19-year absence, but folded again only two years later, to restart from Serie D in 2019 as Calcio Foggia.
