Nuovo Pordenone 2024 FC ASD, commonly referred to asPordenone, is afootball club based inPordenone,Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Italy.
It was founded in 1920 asFootball Club Pordenone.
In the 2007–08 season, the club was promoted fromEccellenza Friuli – Venezia Giulia toSerie D, and six seasons later (in 2014), it was promoted to the newLega Pro. The club was relegated in 2015 but re-admitted at the start of2015–16 Lega Pro, to fill the vacancies.
The club reached the Lega Pro play-offs for two consecutive seasons, being defeated in the semi finals byPisa andParma, the clubs that eventually were promoted.
On 12 December 2017, in the Round of 16, Pordenone playedInter Milan for theCoppa Italia at the San Siro, drawing 0-0 and getting knocked out 5–4 in penalties. This is the furthest the team has ever reached in the competition.
Pordenone successively won the Group B title in the2018–19 Serie C season under the tenure of seasoned managerAttilio Tesser, thus ensuring themselves the right to playSerie B for the first time in the club's history.
The club's first season in Serie B was largely successful, achieving a fourth-place finish in the league and thus reaching theplay-offs for promotion toSerie A. However, Pordenone's push for a second-consecutive promotion ended with a 2–1 aggregate defeat in the semi-final againstFrosinone.[3] In the2020–21 season, Pordenone suffered a downturn in fortunes as the club ended the campaign in 15th position in the table, withTesser being removed from his position as coach in April 2021 and replaced byMaurizio Domizzi. In the2021–22 season campaign, the team finished dead last and was relegated toSerie C after changing three head coaches. After the 2022–23 season, Pordenone did not apply to participate in Serie C, dropped out of professional football and was liquidated on 31 October 2023.[4]
In May 2024, the club was refounded under the new denomination ofNuovo Pordenone 2024 FC ASD and submitted an application to play in the amateurPromozione league for the 2024–25 season.[1]
The colours of the club are black and green, originating from the Venezia shirt. The away kit is usually predominantly white; over the years, the secondary colours have varied from green, red (evoking the same colours of the city of Pordenone banner) and black. In the past, the badge represented the city coat of arms, sometimes with a lizard; more recently, the badge was modernized with a logo representing the letters P and N, identifying the car plate of the province and three waves depicting the river Noncello.
