Imolese Calcio 1919

What Imolese Calcio 1919 does

Imolese Calcio 1919 S.S.D. A R.L. is an Italian amateur football club headquartered in Imola (province of Bologna, Emilia-Romagna), operating from two locations: a Centro Sportivo at Via Salvo d'Acquisto, 3 and the Stadio Romeo Galli at Viale Romeo Galli, 11. The current legal entity was constituted in 2005 and since 2008 has been the sporting heir to the tradition of the original Imola Football Club founded in 1919, succeeding the bankrupt Associazione Calcio Imolese. The senior men's first team competes in Serie D, the fourth tier of Italian football; the club's documented historical high is fifteen prior participations in Serie C (third tier).

The club runs a multi-vertical sporting offering. Beyond the senior first team, it operates a structured youth sector (Settore Giovanile) covering age groups from Under-13 through Under-19, with the U17 team winning the 2024-25 regional championship and the academy securing the Serie D 'Giovani D Valore' young talent classification that season. A women's football team competes in regional competitions including Coppa Emilia Eccellenza Femminile. In September 2024 the club entered a partnership with Dozzese Futsal to integrate a futsal section (U23 and senior) under the Imolese brand, with stated ambitions to climb to higher futsal categories.

The business model is that of a traditional Italian amateur sports club (Società Sportiva Dilettantistica a responsabilità limitata). Revenue derives from gate receipts at Stadio Galli, merchandise sales, sponsorships, member/registration fees, and league distributions; revenue is not publicly disclosed and there are no institutional investors, parent company, or ownership transparency beyond a club president referenced in futsal-related communications. Distribution channels are exclusively domestic (Italy), and customer/member segments are local fans, youth players' families, women's football participants, and futsal participants — all within the Emilia-Romagna catchment. There is no disclosed technology platform, no software product, and no AI/ML component: operations centre on athletic performance, youth coaching, and community engagement through a website, YouTube channel, and social media.

Scale indicators6 records

Recent moves7 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• Ternana Calcio: Historic Italian football club with Serie A pedigree that has experienced repeated ownership turmoil, refounding events, and lower-tier competition in recent years. Comparable to Imolese on the dimension of repeated bankruptcies and tradition-driven revival, though at a larger scale and currently Serie C.
• Palermo FC: Major historic Italian football club (former Serie A regular) that went through bankruptcy and refounding. Comparable to Imolese in the structural pattern of bankruptcies and revival under a new amateur/legal entity, though at a far larger city and revenue scale.

Regional players

• SPAL 2013: Emilia-Romagna-based Italian football club founded in 2013 as heir to the original SPAL after financial collapse. Most relevant as a regional peer sharing Imolese's history of phoenix-style rebirth from bankruptcy within the same Italian region.
• Cesena FC: Emilia-Romagna-based Italian football club with historical Serie A pedigree that has undergone restructuring in recent years. Regional comparable with similar youth-development emphasis and small-market dynamics.
• Rimini FC: Emilia-Romagna-based Italian football club operating in lower professional tiers. Comparable as a same-region peer with historical top-flight tradition, similar sponsorship and gate-revenue ceiling, and active youth development.

Direct peers

• Sant'Angelo Calcio: Serie D Italian amateur football club and direct league opponent of Imolese. Same tier and similar amateur-club governance structure, providing like-for-like comparability on revenues, scale, and operations.
• AC Trevigliese: Serie D Italian amateur football club and direct opponent of Imolese in the 2025-26 season. Operates at the same tier with similar amateur-club structure, regional fan base, and youth programming.
• ASD Progresso: Serie D Italian amateur football club and direct league opponent of Imolese. Same tier, comparable amateur governance model and limited regional reach.
• US Lentigione: Serie D Italian football club and direct on-pitch competitor to Imolese in the 2025-26 schedule. Operates as a comparable small amateur club in Emilia-Romagna with similar resource constraints.
• Pro Sesto Calcio: Italian amateur football club also competing in Serie D, and a direct on-pitch competitor of Imolese in the 2025-26 season (Pro Sesto vs Imolese 2-4). Comparable in scale, corporate structure (amateur S.S.D.), and youth/women's programming.
