The Supercoppa di Serie C, [1] formerly named Supercoppa di Lega Pro, is an Italian football competition played by the three group winners of Serie C. The competition was inaugurated in 2000.
The FIGC introduced a third-level national football championship for the first time following the reforms of 1926. [2] The Direttorio Divisioni Inferiori Nord, the fascist authority ruling the second division in Northern Italy, introduced a national cup for the group winners.
In 1928 the fascists decided to allow the fully national Direttorio Divisioni Superiori to organize the third-level championship instead. A cup for the group winners, and promotion to newly-born Serie B was maintained.
However, Italian tifosi showed very little interest for this honorific cup, so it was discontinued for seventy years. [3]
