The club participated in the first and highest-tier level of the Italian league pyramid until 2018, then did not participate to the following 2019 Serie A.

History

The club was formed in 1949, inspired by Eugenio Pagnini, a modern pentathlete at the 1928 and 1932 Summer Olympics, who taught in Rimini's classical lyceum and had recently returned from a visit to the United States. The club initially played on a field by Rimini railway station and at the Stadio Romeo Neri. [1]

In 1973, the club moved to a purpose-built stadium. Under the leadership of Rino Zangheri, the club reached its biggest years of notability, with players including Mike Romano, who left the club for Novara United in 2012. In 1979, the club changed its uniform from white and red (the same colours of Rimini FC 1912) to black and orange. [1]
