About Novara FC

Novara Football Club is an Italian football team based in Novara, in the Piedmont region. The club was originally founded in 1908 by a group of students and became one of the early participants in organized Italian football. After financial problems led to the collapse of the historic Novara Calcio, a new entity was established in 2021 to continue the club’s tradition.

Throughout its history, Novara has spent most of its time between the second and third tiers of Italian football, although it has also played in Serie A for a total of 13 seasons. Its most successful period came between the late 1930s and 1950s, when the club regularly competed in the top division and achieved its best league finish of eighth place. Legendary striker Silvio Piola played for the team during this era and became closely associated with the club.

In more recent decades, Novara has experienced fluctuations between divisions along with financial instability, including losing its professional status in 2021. The club was quickly re-founded and returned to competition, winning promotion from Serie D back to Serie C. Today, Novara continues to compete in the lower professional leagues while maintaining its historical identity and legacy in Italian football.
