Associazione Calcio Bra is an Italian association football club, based in Bra, Piedmont. The club competes in the Serie C Group B.
Established as Unione Sportiva Braidese, with light blue and white as official colours, the team played its inaugural match on 1 May 1913, drawing 1–1 against Mondovì. The club's early years were characterized by intermittent activity until 1926, when they inaugurated the "Madonna dei Fiori" stadium (named after the nearby church) with a friendly match against Torino, which ended in a 2–1 defeat. In the 1926–27 season, the team made its debut in the Terza Divisione Piemontese, securing immediate promotion to the Seconda Divisione. By 1930, they reached the Prima Divisione but withdrew after one season due to financial and organizational challenges. The club ceased operations in 1933 but was re-established in 1937 as Associazione Calcio Bra, adopting yellow and red as their official colours. [1]
After World War II, AC Bra was admitted to Serie C in 1946. However, the club faced relegation shortly thereafter and experienced several periods of inactivity and reformation. In 1955, the club was shortly renamed Virtus Bra. Despite ongoing challenges, including another dissolution in 1959, AC Bra persisted, re-entering competitive football in the lower tiers and gradually climbing the ranks.
At the end of the 2011–12 season, the team was promoted from Eccellenza Piedmont and Aosta Valley/B to Serie D. [2]
At the end of the 2012–13 season, the team was promoted from Serie D/A to Lega Pro Seconda Divisione. Although they faced relegation in the 2013–14 season, the club demonstrated resilience.
After another decade spent in Serie D, on 13 April 2025, Bra was promoted to Serie C after winning their group.
