Biography

Formation

Benevento Calcio, an Italian professional football club, was originally founded in 1929 as Associazione Calcio Benevento. The club's early years saw them rise through the ranks of Italy's lower divisions, culminating in their first significant achievement during the 1934–35 season when they reached the Prima Divisione, the third highest professional league at the time. They managed to secure a respectable position, finishing above notable clubs like Reggina, although they did not achieve promotion to Serie B.

21st Century Revival

After a period of struggle, the original club folded in 2005, leading to the establishment of Benevento Calcio S.p.A., which adopted the same stadium and colors. The club quickly made its mark by finishing first in Girone C of Serie C2 during the 2007–08 season, earning promotion to Lega Pro Prima Divisione. Their first season in this new league saw them finish second, but they narrowly missed out on promotion after losing in the play-offs.

In a historic moment for the club, under the management of Gaetano Auteri, Benevento won their league in the 2015–16 season, securing their first-ever promotion to Serie B. This achievement was confirmed on April 30, 2016, after a decisive 3–0 victory over Lecce. The club continued to build on this success, winning the Serie B title in the 2019–20 season and further solidifying their place in Italian football.
