About AC Ancona

AC Ancona was an Italian football club based in the city of Ancona, in the Marche region. Its origins date back to 1905 under the name Unione Sportiva Anconitana, and over time the club went through several name changes and reorganizations. The version known as Associazione Calcio Ancona was officially founded in 2004 as a successor to the original club. It played its home matches at the Stadio del Conero and was known by nicknames such as “I Dorici” and “I Biancorossi.”

Throughout its history, Ancona spent much of its time in the lower divisions but had notable moments in higher leagues. The club reached Serie A twice, with its most recent appearance in the 2003–04 season, although it struggled and finished with one of the lowest point totals in league history. It also reached the Coppa Italia final in the early 1990s, marking one of its most significant achievements at national level.

Financial instability played a major role in the club’s history, leading to repeated bankruptcies and refoundations. In 2010, AC Ancona was officially dissolved after going bankrupt, and several successor clubs were later created to continue football in the city. Today, the original club is remembered for its fluctuating history, brief appearances in top-flight football, and its role as a representative of the Marche region in Italian football.
