History

On 27 July 2021, Lamezia-based entrepreneur Felice Saladini announced the birth of a new football team: F.C. Lamezia Terme. Saladini hoped to unite fans of the other teams in Lamezia Terme, Vigor Lamezia and ASD Sambiase, who both decided to start over from the Prima Categoria amateur league, ^[4] with the intention to have those fans support a common cause. ^[5]

They played their inaugural season in 2021–22 Serie D Group I placing at 4th place and losing playoff semifinal against Acireale. ^{[6] [7]}

Lamezia Terme reached again the 4th place in 2022-23 Serie D Group I losing play-off semifinal against Trapani. ^[8] Another important result reached during that season was the semifinal of Serie D Italian Cup. ^[9]
