Current season

A.S.D. Tre Pini Matese was an Italian association football club based in Sepicciano, Piedimonte Matese, Caserta, Campania. Although based in Campania, the club were members of Promozione (Molise) and Eccellenza (Molise). ^[1]

History

The club was founded in 2012 as A.S.D. Tre Pini Sporting Matese. Tre Pini Sporting Matese was admitted to Prima Categoria for the 2012–13 season, winning promotion to Promozione Molise after finishing as champions and recording a total of 76 points from 30 games. ^[2]

During the 2015–16 season, Tre Pini finished as runners-up to Polisportiva Gioventù Calcio Dauna in Eccellenza Molise. There was some controversy over Dauna and U.S. Venafro's involvement in a corruption scandal. As a result of this, several representatives of Gioventù Dauna received fines ranging from €5,000 to €10,000, while the other accused club, Venafro, was fined a sum of €4,000. Dauna's first-place finish was awarded, to second-placed Tre Pini, with the accused club; set to remain in Eccellenza for the subsequent campaign. Consequently, Tre Pini; was temporarily admitted to Serie D for the 2016–17 season. However, following this decision, a federal tribunal found Dauna innocent of any wrongdoing and its title and subsequent promotion; was restored, placing Tre Pini Matese back in Eccellenza. ^[3]

Cup run

The 2013–14 season saw the club compete in the Coppa Italia Dilettanti Molise for the first time in its history. Tre Pini failed to make it past the group stage. The following season, the team qualified for the semi-finals of the cup. And this was mirrored in the 2015–16 season. The 2016–17 season saw them top their group; and reach the quarter-finals of the tournament. However, Tre Pini would fall to a (6–5 aggregate defeat) after winning the home leg 3–2, then losing 2–4 away to Isernia.

Colors and club crest

Tre Pini's home colours were green and white. The club's badge depicted three pine trees atop three peaks paid homage to the town Piedimonte Matese and the surrounding area in the mountainous region of Campania in Southern Italy.

Nearby clubs

Their closest rivals in terms of distance were A.S.D. Alliphae, an Alife-based club, and then the more established Caserta-based outfit Casertana. The distance between Alife and Piedimonte Matese is about 3.3 miles (5.5 km), whilst Caserta is approximately 24 miles (40 km) away.

Matches

Tre Pini Matese twice met local rivals Casertana in the same calendar year, with the first encounter coming on 11 February 2016, when they hosted a friendly against Casertana, which saw I Falchetti run out 10−0 winners. ^[4] Following their crushing defeat back in February, a rematch was contested at Tre Pini's - Stadio Pasqualino Ferrante; on 21 August during the 2016−17 pre-season. Goals from Matmute and Giorno were enough to give the away side a second successive victory over their rivals.

Tre Pini Matese's home and away kits were produced by Italian international sports brand Zeus Sports and, their shirts sponsor was 'Città di Piedimonte Matese'.
