S.C. Ravenna Sport

Foundation

The club was founded in 1914 as the football section of sports club Unione Sportiva Ravennate. In 1920, the club merged with Audace Football Club, which had been founded only one year earlier, in 1919. The same year the club joined the Italian Football Federation, it was part of the Promozione league. Another merger in 1921 with S.G. Forti per essere Liberi led the club to change its denomination to 'Unione Sportiva Ravennate Forti per essere Liberi'. The sports club disbanded in 1928, with all its sports sections becoming separate entities; notably, the football section assumed the denomination of Associazione Calcio Ravenna.
