Calcio Foggia 1920

What Calcio Foggia 1920 does

Calcio Foggia 1920 is an Italian professional football club, organized as a società a responsabilità limitata (srl), that competes in Serie C — the third tier of Italian football. The current legal entity was established in July 2019 when Sardinian entrepreneurs Roberto Felleca and Maria Assunta Pintus, together with Davide Pelusi, acquired the sporting title for €500,000 in cash and re-entered the football pyramid at Serie D, subsequently climbing to Serie C. The club plays home matches at Stadio Pino Zaccheria in Foggia (capacity 14,530), serving a primary customer base of local residents and supporters from the Capitanata province. The club is colloquially known as 'Foggia' or 'Satanelli' (little devils), with the iconic logo created by Savino Russo in 1987 and preserved across the club's multiple bankruptcies and reorganizations.

The core product is participation in Serie C Sky Wifi (Girone C) and Coppa Italia Serie C competitions, supported by ancillary offerings including an official online merchandise store (calciofoggia1920.store), a ticketing platform operated in partnership with VivaTicket (calciofoggia1920.vivaticket.it), and a Media House YouTube channel for video content. The club's commercial infrastructure includes a Givova technical-sponsorship deal for kit supply, a Sixtus medical sponsorship, and a network of approximately 40 local commercial partners across main, top, premium, and official sponsor tiers — dominated by small and medium-sized enterprises in automotive, agriculture, hospitality, retail, and professional services in the Foggia/Gargano region. Stadium ticket pricing is standardized at approximately €10 plus service fees for general admission and €7 for away supporters.

The revenue model is multi-stream but locally concentrated: matchday revenue from ticketing and season subscriptions (abbonamenti); sponsorship and partnership income from local commercial counterparties; and pool-distributed broadcasting rights from Lega Pro media packages. The club is privately held with no institutional investors or PE backing, and operates with an estimated 11–50 employees. Recent events include the July 2026 revocation of judicial administration by the Tribunale di Bari (recognizing successful corporate rescue), renewed main-sponsor partnerships through the 2025/26 season, the signing of Slovenian international Josip Ilicic in September 2025, and completion of Serie D registration for the 2026/27 season following a difficult 2025/26 campaign that left the club 18th in Girone C.
