UFM Monfalcone

The sports club, born in 1912 during the Austro-Hungarian dominion, started its activity after the end of World War I. The team, already active in 1919, grew progressively until entering the Seconda Divisione of the Italian football championship, the last step before the highest national category, and it witnessed its fusion in 1923 with two other local clubs: S.C. Monfalcone and G.S. Cantiere Navale Triestino. Unexpectedly winning the C round of Prima Divisione championship in 1929, the team was admitted to the first Serie B for 1929-1930 and for the following two seasons. In November 1932 the great financial crisis of Cantiere Navale Triestino, the company managing the local harbour, forced the Italian team to retire after 6 days, which meant its relegation to the previous category. Being in trouble in the period before the Second Italo-Ethiopian War, it managed to make up the lost ground and after only 3 seasons it went back playing in third level championships, which from 1935 to not long ago were called Serie C. After interrupting the activities for warfare, in 1945 the sports club split in two: Associazione Calcio Monfalconese (ACM) and Cantieri Riuniti dell'Adriatico Monfalcone (CRDA Monfalcone). Such division did not last long and, after 7 years of individual activities, the two teams unite in the name of CRDA Monfalcone. In 1962 Monfalcone won Serie D Championship and could therefore take part in Serie C 1962-1963; in 1968 it changed name into Associazione Calcio…
