Monterosi Tuscia Football Club, commonly known just asMonterosi, was anItalian association football club located inMonterosi,Lazio.
The club was founded in 1968, competing in the lower tiers of amateur football, such asSeconda Categoria in 2004.[3] They reachedPromozione in 2007 and were first promoted toEccellenza in 2009 through playoffs.[3]
In 2016, when Luciano Capponi took the presidency, the club merged with Nuova Sorianese and was renamed toNuova Monterosi, promptly winning the 2016–17 Eccellenza league, thus ensuring themselves a historical first time toSerie D the following season.[3] In 2020, under head coach David D'Antoni, Monterosi narrowly missed on promotion toGrosseto following the2019–20 season halt due to theCOVID-19 pandemic in Italy.[3]
In the2020–21 Serie D season, Monterosi won the Girone H of the league, thus ensuring themselves a spot in theSerie C for the following season.[5] Following te promotion, the club was renamedMonterosi Tuscia, in order to better represent the whole area of the city of Monterosi historically known asTuscia.[6] For their2021–22 Serie C debut season, Monterosi had to move from their hometown stadium, Stadio Marcello Martoni, as its capacity of 500[7][8] was deemed incompatible with the league rules, and opted to relocate at theStadio Enrico Rocchi inViterbo for their home games.
In 2024, after suffering relegation from Serie C, the club relocated toGuidonia Montecelio, changed its colours to red-and-blue and was renamedGuidonia Montecelio 1937 FC, thus ending its entire association with Monterosi.[9]
Its colors were red and white.
