A.S.D.C. Gozzano also known asAssociazione Sportiva Dilettantistica Calcio Gozzano,Associazione Calcio Gozzano, or simplyGozzano, is anItalian association football club, based inGozzano, Piedmont. Gozzano currently plays inSerie D.
The club was founded on the 1 April 1920 asClub Sportivo Juventus, and later adopted the current name. It became member of theFIGC (Italian Football Federation) in 1924.[1][2]
After playing consistently for many decades in the amateur league of Piedmont, in the1978–79 season the team was promoted toSerie D for the first time;[3] it then reached the category again in2010–11[4][5][6] and2014–15 [it] seasons.[7]
After more than 9 decades spent competing in the Italian amateur leagues, in the 2017–18 season the club won the A group ofSerie D, and was promoted to theSerie C, reaching a professional championship for the first time in its history.[8][9][10] It was then relegated to Serie D in the 2019–20 season.
The team's historic colors are red and blue.[11]
From 1985 to 1995 the players wore red and white halved shirts derived from the colours of the town emblem (which is also pictured into the club badge).[8]
Since the 1950s, A.C. Gozzano's home stadium isStadio Alfredo d'Albertas on 3 Via Madonna di Luzzara, Monterosso. Totally renovated and upgraded in 2019 after "cusiani" team's first promotion toSerie C,[12] the stadium is named after the club's longest serving president (H.E. marquis Alfredo d’Albertas, 1916 – 1992)[13] and has a seating capacity of approx 1,500.[14]
As the stadium wasn't ready to use for the 2018–19 season, Gozzano usedStadio Silvio Piola on 5 Via Massaua,Vercelli as the venue for most part of its home games (both in2018-19 Serie C and2018–19 Coppa Italia Serie C [it]).[11][15]
The club also usedStadio Silvio Piola of Novara for the opening match of 2018–19 Serie C.[16]
After a couple more official matches played in Vercelli at the beginning of 2019–20 season, Gozzano headed back to "d'Albertas" stadium on September 15, 2019.[17]
