History

The club was founded on 1930.

In the season 2009–10 it was promoted from Serie D to Lega Pro Seconda Divisione. The club was relegated back to Serie D after the 2013-14 season after only avoiding a relegation in the previous campaign in order to fill vacancies in the division. The club subsequently earned promotion to Serie C as Group E champions of the 2016–17 Serie D season. In June 2019 the merger between the company of Follonica and that of Gavorrano was made official: the new team, heir of the Gavorrano sporting tradition takes the name of Follonica Gavorrano and is admitted in Serie D.
