Biography
Formation
Football Club Pro Vercelli 1892, commonly known as Pro Vercelli, was established in 1892 in Vercelli, Piedmont, Italy, originally as Società Ginnastica Pro Vercelli. The football division was formed in 1903, marking the beginning of the club's journey in competitive football. Their first official match took place on August 3, 1903, against Forza e Costanza, setting the stage for a remarkable history in Italian football.
Early Success and Decline
Pro Vercelli quickly rose to prominence, winning seven Italian Football Championships between 1908 and 1922, including consecutive titles in 1908, 1909, and 1910-11. However, the introduction of professionalism in Italian football and the emergence of larger clubs from industrial cities led to a gradual decline. The club last played in Serie A during the 1934-35 season and faced relegation from Serie B in 1948, which initiated a long period outside the top divisions, including multiple relegations to Serie D.
Resurgence and Modern Era
In the 1990s, Pro Vercelli began to regain its footing, achieving promotion back to professional status after winning the Scudetto Dilettanti in the 1993-94 season. Despite facing challenges, including a rivalry with A.S. Pro Belvedere Vercelli, the club has maintained its identity and continues to compete in Serie C, the third tier of Italian football, showcasing its resilience and historical significance in the sport.

Career & Clubs
Early league successes and decline
The origins of football in Vercelli go back to 1892 when it was founded as Società Ginnastica Pro Vercelli (Pro Vercelli Gymnastics Society), and 1903 with its Football Division. The first official match for the football division of S.G. Pro Vercelli took place on 3 August 1903 against the Forza e Costanza. The club won seven Italian Football Championships from 1908 to 1922: 1908, 1909, 1910–11, 1911–12, 1912–13, 1920–21, and 1921–22. The introduction of professionalism in Italian football, and the rise of teams from larger industrial and business cities such as Milan and Turin, led Pro Vercelli to a slow but continuous decline. They played Serie A for their last time to date in 1934–35, and went ultimately relegated also from the 1947–48 Serie B, starting a long period out of the two top divisions of Italian football, even being relegated to Italy's amateur league, Serie D, in multiple times. They regained professional status for good after winning promotion and the Scudetto Dilettanti in the season 1993–94.
Bankruptcy and the new Pro Vercelli
In the early 2000s, Pro Vercelli also had to challenge crosstown rivalry from a new team, A.S. Pro Belvedere Vercelli (with the colours yellow and green), founded in the summer of 2006 as a merger between A.S. Trino Calcio (based in Trino, Piedmont), who played in Serie D and minor league team P.G.S. Pro Belvedere, founded in 1912. In the 2006–07 Serie D, the team finished 9th in…
