From S.S. Gualdo to A.S. Gualdo
S.S. Gualdo
The club was founded in 1920 as Società Sportiva Gualdo and made several appearances in professional football, reaching the Serie C1 promotion playoffs twice, in 1995 and 1998. In 1995 the club narrowly missed promotion losing the promotion playoff final on penalty shootouts to Avellino.
A.S. Gualdo
The club was dropped by the federation because of financial troubles in 2006, after a season in the Serie C2/B; a new club, A.S. Gualdo Calcio, was subsequently admitted to Promozione (7th level of Italian football) and immediately won it, being therefore promoted to Eccellenza for the season 2007–08.
