Chieti was founded in 1922 as Calcio Chieti, with capital of 50 cents. The idea originated from Nicola De Cesare and friends in Villa Comunale. The team started by playing teams in the central Civitella military. Existing club Sport Club Chieti was inactive for long periods, leading to the decision to start Chieti at meeting between the RISS, Novell, and Sport Cub Chieti. The first president was Carlo Massangioli.

Chieti played the 2005/2006 season in Serie C1/B, finishing in last place and was therefore relegated to Serie C2. The team was then cancelled by the federation because of inadequate financing.

Second attempt

A.S.D. Chieti then asked to be admitted [1] to play Promozione (7th level of Italian football), claiming Article 52 of N.O.I.F. [2] Chieti gained promotion to Serie D in 2008. Since 2010–11 season, S.S. Chieti Calcio plays in Lega Pro Seconda Divisione.

In 2012–13, the team played in the fourth tier, reaching the promotion playoffs, after securing a draw in the last matchday against Arzanese. Massimiliano Barbone, a defender on loan from Serie B club Pescara.[ citation needed ] scored the goal that enabled qualification to the playoffs.

Colours and badge

The team's colours are green and black.

The choice of black and green Theatines dates to 1919, when the first soccer team representing the City had neither uniforms nor the money to buy them. Instead they found some in a crate from Venice. The pennant team was tweaked over the years. The club was once identified by a crest in the style of AC Milan, then under the leadership of President Antonio Buccilli. They then adopted a pennant depicting two strips (one black and one green) crossing the words "DC 1922" i.e. Chieti Calcio 1922. In 2006, their rudimentary style was reinvented. The last change was made in the summer of 2008 when the previous emblem was added to one side of Achilles horse, the symbol of the city of Chieti.
