The History of Fussball Club Südtirol
Fussball Club Südtirol is an Italian football team based in Bolzano with operational headquarters in Appiano sulla Strada del Vino. The club has a rich history of beginnings and successes, making it a reference point for football in Alto Adige in a very short time.
The Beginnings: Sport Verein Milland
The history of Fussball Club Südtirol begins in 1974 with the founding of Società Sport Verein Milland by a group of footballers registered with the two major football clubs in Bressanone. The club was officially founded on April 26 of the same year by insurer Ubald Comper and adopted yellow-black as its club colors. The club began to operate in the youth sector, participating in the provincial Juniores championship in the 1974-75 season.
The Birth of F.C. Südtirol
In 1995, the football section of Sport Verein Milland was renamed "Football Club Südtirol-Alto Adige" and chose white-red as its club colors. The club's name represents the entire territory of the autonomous province of Bolzano and, after the move to Bolzano in 2000, the name became "F.C. Südtirol."
The club quickly established itself as a reference point for football in Alto Adige: Fussball Club Südtirol boasts the highest number of seasons in professionalism among the province's teams.
Promotion to Serie B
In the 2021-2022 season, Fussball Club Südtirol made history by gaining promotion to Serie B thanks to its victory in the F.C. Südtirol group A. The club was therefore the only one in the province to achieve such a promotion in the era of a single group.
Achievements and Failures
The club has achieved many milestones in a short time, becoming a reference point for football in Alto Adige. However, over the years, the club has also suffered several failures.

The Future of the Club

However, the club will have to continue working hard to maintain its level of performance and achieve new goals in Italian football.
