History

The club was founded around 1924 as Club Sportivo Juventus, and later adopted the current name. It became member of the FIGC (Italian Football Federation) in 1924.[1][2]

In the 1978–79 season the team was promoted to Serie D for the first time;[3] it then reached the category again in 2010–11[4][5][6] and 2014–15 seasons.[7]

After more than 9 decades spent competing in the Italian amateur leagues, in the 2017–18 season the club won the A group of Serie D, and was promoted to the Serie C, reaching a professional championship for the first time in its history.[8][9][10]

Colors and badge

The team's historic colors are red and blue.[11]

From 1985 to 1995 the players wore red and white halved shirts derived from the colours of the town emblem (which is also pictured into the club badge).[8]

Stadiums

Since the 1950s, A.C. Gozzano's home stadium is Stadio Alfredo d'Albertas on 3 Via Madonna di Luzzara, Monterosso. Totally renovated and upgraded in 2019 after "cusiani" team's first promotion to Serie C,[15] the stadium is named after the club's longest serving president (H.E. marquis Alfredo d’Albertas, 1916 – 1992)[16] and has a seating capacity of approx 1,500.[17]

As the stadium wasn't ready to use for the 2018–19 season, Gozzano used Stadio Silvio Piola on 5 Via Massaua, Vercelli as the venue for most part of its home games (both in 2018-19 Serie C and 2018–19 Coppa Italia Serie C).[11][18]

The club also used Stadio Silvio Piola of Novara for the opening match of 2018–19 Serie C.[19]

After a couple more official matches played in Vercelli at the beginning of 2019–20 season, Gozzano headed back to "d'Albertas" stadium on September 15, 2019.[20]
