History
U.S. Mirandolese was founded in 1920. In the 1928-1929 season, it reached the first place in the Second Division group E on a par with G.S. Farini, who was beaten (2-0) in the playoff game played in Mantua on June 9, 1929. The victory allowed U.S. Mirandolese to play in the Prima Divisione. It remained in the Prima Divisione for three years.
After returning to the regional division for a few decades, U.S. Mirandolese won the Promozione in the 1956-57 season and entered Serie D, where it played for twelve consecutive seasons.
Mirandolese was most successful at the regional level in the 1980s. After winning the Regional Promotion Championship 1978-1979, the team remained in the Interregional Championship for ten consecutive years, often finishing near the top of the ranking.
The double relegation in 1991 marked the beginning of the collapse that awaited Mirandolese in the following years. Since the 1990s, Mirandolese mainly played in the Prima Divisione, with sporadic appearances in Promozione and Eccellenza. Mirandolese folded in 2005.
