'''Catania Football Club''', commonly known as '''Catania''', is an [[Football in Italy|Italian football]] club based in the city of [[Catania]], [[Sicily]], that plays in [[Serie C]].

Originally founded in 1908 as ''Associazione Sportiva pro Educazione Fisica'', the club boasts 17 appearances in the top flight, reaching eighth place in [[Serie A]] on four occasions: during the early 1960s and again in 2012–13.{{Clarify|reason=Is it two games for each, or did one have three games and the other had one game only?|date=July 2023}} It is the 12th most popular team in Italy, with around 600,000 fans.<ref>{{Cite web |title=I dati della Lega Calcio sulla tifoseria italiana di Serie A &#124; Tifoso Bilanciato – bilanci e finanza nel calcio |url=https://www.tifosobilanciato.it/2013/04/26/i-dati-della-lega-calcio-sulla-tifoseria-italiana-di-serie-a/ |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190721222005/https://www.tifosobilanciato.it/2013/04/26/i-dati-della-lega-calcio-sulla-tifoseria-italiana-di-serie-a/ |archive-date=21 July 2019 |access-date=26 July 2019 |language=IT}}</ref> The club also went on a number of dissolutions and refoundations, the last happening in 2022.

==History==
===Origins (1901–1908)===
Crews of English merchant ships brought football to Sicily. Specifically, the earliest Catania team can be traced to a match that took place on 2 May 1901 at San Raineri di Messina against [[Messina Football Club]]; the team was Royal Yacht Catania, an English ship with a Catanian crew.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.clubcalciocatania.it/index.htm#1946|title=ClubCalcioCatania.it|access-date=20 June 2007|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070615073617/http://www.clubcalciocatania.it/index.htm#1946|archive-date=15 June 2007|df=dmy-all}}</ref>

[[Image:ProPatria1908.jpg|thumb|150px|left|Earliest club photograph as Pro Patria in 1908]]
The ship workers' team was a pastime, and Catania's first professional football club was founded on 19 June 1908 by Italian film director Gaetano Ventimiglia and Francesco Sturzo d'Aldobrando, who founded the club under the name A.S. Educazione Fisica Pro Patria. Early on, they would play against sailors visiting the port of Catania, foreign ships in particular. Though their first ever match was against the Italian battleship {{ship|Italian battleship|Regina Margherita||2}}, the game ended in a 1–1 draw and the Catania line-up that day consisted of Vassallo, Gismondo, Bianchi, Messina, Slaiter, Caccamo, Stellario, Binning, Cocuzza, Ventimiglia and Pappalardo. Just two years later, the club was renamed to Unione Sportiva Catanese.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.rsssf.org/tablesc/catania.html|title=RSSSF.com|access-date=20 June 2007|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070613132603/http://www.rsssf.com/tablesc/catania.html|archive-date=13 June 2007|df=dmy-all}}</ref>

===Foundation (1908–1943)===
In northern Italy, football was more organised and clubs in the area competed in the early [[Italian Football Championship]]s, while the southern clubs competed in competitions such as the Lipton, Sant' Agata, and Agordad cups. US Catanese survived [[World War I]], and after that, played in the local [[Coppa Federale Siciliana]]. Seven seasons later, in 1927, they were promoted to the Campionato Catanese, later winning in the 1928–29 season. As they gained promotion, the team entered the Second Division, but the fascist reform of Italian football dictated the disbandment of Catanese and the establishment of Società Sportiva Catania on 27 June 1929.<ref name=book>Tutto il Catania minuto per minuto (Antonio Buemi, Roberto Quartarone, Carlo Fontanelli, Alessandro Russo, Filippo Solarino - Geo Edizioni); pp. 101, 102, 105, 106, 109, 110, 116</ref> The new club first competed in [[Serie B]] in the 1934–35 season,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.clubcalciocatania.it/1934-35.htm|title=ClubCalcioCatania.it|access-date=20 June 2007|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070927210502/http://www.clubcalciocatania.it/1934-35.htm|archive-date=27 September 2007|df=dmy-all}}</ref> where they finished fourth; that year, [[Genoa C.F.C.|Genoa]] won the Serie B title.

Catania played in the league for three seasons during this period before ultimately being relegated. Down in [[Serie C]], Catania was crowned the champion in the 1938–39 season, finishing above Sicilian rivals [[A.S. Siracusa Calcio 1924|Siracusa]] and Messina, who came in second and third place respectively. The club finished bottom of the league in Serie B and won only three games that season. The club's name was briefly changed to Associazione Calcio Fascista Catania during the 1942–43 season in [[Serie C]], which ended prematurely due to [[World War II]].

===Rebirth (1945–1949)===
[[Image:Catania1946.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Calcio Catania during 1946]]
After World War II ended, a local competition was organised, the Campionato Siciliano. At the end of that season, a local team named Elefante Catania<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.clubcalciocatania.it/1944-45.htm|title=ClubCalcioCatania.it|access-date=20 June 2007|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070927210554/http://www.clubcalciocatania.it/1944-45.htm|archive-date=27 September 2007|df=dmy-all}}</ref> was merged into the club. The merged club kept the Catanese name and competed in Serie C during the 1945–46 season, but finished last. In the same league that season, a team called Virtus Catania competed with them, finishing eighth.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.clubcalciocatania.it/1945-46.htm|title=ClubCalcioCatania.it|access-date=20 June 2007|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070927210530/http://www.clubcalciocatania.it/1945-46.htm|archive-date=27 September 2007|df=dmy-all}}</ref>

At the end of the season, Catanese and Virtus merged to form Club Calcio Catania, with the club's first president as Santi Manganaro-Passanisi, who had previously been president of Catanese. They were promoted to Serie C, where they spent three seasons. After a duel with [[Reggina Calcio|Reggina]] for first place in the league, Catania gained a promotion to Serie B for the 1948–49 season.

===Golden years (1953–1965)===
The late 1950s–1960s are considered the [[Golden age|golden years]] for the Catanian club, as they managed to achieve a promotion to [[Serie A]] on two occasions during this time. Their first promotion from Serie B came when, during the 1953–54 season, they beat [[Cagliari F.C.|Cagliari]] and [[Lombardy]] side [[Aurora Pro Patria 1919|Pro Patria]] and were crowned champions of the division. Their first season in Serie A saw the club achieve a respectable 12th-place finish, but the club was forcibly relegated due to financial scandals, as were [[Udinese Calcio]].

[[Image:Catania1961-62.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Catania during their second spell in Serie A, in the 1960s]]
Under the management of [[Carmelo Di Bella]], who had played for the club in the late 1930s, Catania gained promotion from Serie B in the 1959–60 season. Catania had lost their final game 4–2 to [[Brescia Calcio|Brescia]] and needed [[S.S.D. Parma Calcio 1913|Parma]] to get a good result against [[U.S. Triestina Calcio|Triestina]] for the Sicilian club to secure promotion. That is exactly what happened, and Catania had gained a promotion.

Catania returned into Serie A for the [[1960–61 Serie A|1960–61 season]] to begin what would be a six-year stay in the league. The newly promoted club finished in eighth above top Italian clubs such as [[S.S. Lazio|Lazio]] and [[S.S.C. Napoli|Napoli]]. This season produced several notable wins; they beat Napoli and [[Bologna F.C. 1909|Bologna]] twice, [[U.C. Sampdoria|Sampdoria]] 3–0 at home, and most notably, [[A.C. Milan|Milan]] 4–3 in Sicily. Additionally, on the final day of the season, they beat [[Inter Milan|Internazionale]] 2–0, with goals from Castellazzi and Calvanese. Inter lost the closely contested title that year to [[Juventus F.C.|Juventus]].

Four years later, in 1965, Catania would also finish eighth in the league, this time above [[A.S. Roma|Roma]] and Sicilian rivals [[F.C. Messina Peloro|Messina]]. Many of the club's most notable stars played around this time, such as midfielders Alvaro Biagini and the Brazilian [[Chinesinho]], along with [[Winger (association football)|wingers]] Carlo Facchin and [[Giancarlo Danova]] in the side. Catania won against Juventus (2–0), [[ACF Fiorentina|Fiorentina]] (2–0), and Lazio (1–0).

===Decline (1966–1984)===
After Catania's relegation in 1966, Carmelo Di Bella left and the club stayed in Serie B, later playing with [[S.S.D. Palermo|Palermo]] in the [[Derby di Sicilia|Sicilian derby]] before the Palermitan club was promoted. Catania followed in [[1969–70 Serie B|1969–70]] with a third-place finish, gaining a promotion. They were relegated from Serie A after one season. In that season, they had a 3–1 win against Lazio and a draw at home against Milan. Catania only scored 18 goals altogether in 30 games.

In 1973–74, they were relegated down to [[Serie C]], but were able to get a promotion to Serie B by winning as champions. A similar situation occurred in 1976–77, where they were relegated down to Serie C. They finished second, and later third, before finally being crowned champions of what was now known as [[Serie C1]] in 1979–80.

After three short seasons, Catania was promoted after finishing in third place, behind Milan and Lazio, into Serie A. They played the 1983–84 season in Italy's top league, only winning once (which came against [[Pisa Calcio|Pisa]]) with 12 points.

=== Further decline and revival (1985–2006) ===
The decline of Catania started after their last relegation to Serie B. The team was no longer able to reach the top division of Italian football, and instead continued to decline, remaining in [[Serie C1]] for the latter part of the 1980s. In 1993, the team's participation for the year was cancelled by the [[Italian Football Federation]] (FIGC) due to financial irregularities.

After a court session, magistrates declared the FIGC's decision as invalid, thus forcing it to include Catania back into the footballing fold for the year. Catania was included in the [[Eccellenza Sicily|Sicilian Eccellenza]] (the sixth tier of Italian football). In the meantime, another Sicilian football team, [[Atletico Leonzio]], from [[Lentini]] (in the [[Province of Syracuse]]), had been relocated in the city and renamed [[U.S.D. Atletico Catania|Atletico Catania]]. Despite all of this, the real Catania was able to promote back to [[Serie C]] in a short amount of time, later back to Serie B in 2002.

In 2003, Catania was at the centre of a controversy that led to the enlargement of Serie B from 20 to 24 teams, known as ''Caso Catania''. The club claimed that [[A.C. Siena|Siena]] fielded an ineligible player in a 1–1 tie, a result which saw Catania relegated, whereas the two extra points from a victory would have kept them safe. They were awarded a 2–0 victory before the result was reverted because the guilty player was a substitute which did not play the match; Catania appealed to the judges of the [[Sicily|Autonomous Region of Sicily]], who evaluated the victory. In August, the FIGC decided to let Catania, along with [[Genoa C.F.C.|Genoa]] and [[Salernitana Sport|Salernitana]], stay in Serie B; the newly reborn [[ACF Fiorentina|Fiorentina]] was also added for the 2003–04 season. The ruling led to protests and [[boycott]]s by the other Serie B clubs that delayed the start of the season, until the intervention of the [[Italian government]].

The league was reduced to 22 teams for 2004–05, while at the same time, Serie A expanded from 18 to 20 teams. During the start of that season, Antonino Pulvirenti, chairman of the flight company [[Windjet]] and owner of Sicilian Serie C1 team [[A.S. Acireale|Acireale]], bought the club. Catania's new ownership revived the team, and in [[2005–06 Serie B|2005–06]], Catania ended in second place, earning a promotion to Serie A.

===Return to Serie A (2006–2013)===
The [[2006–07 Serie A|2006–07]] season had Catania in [[Serie A]] for its first appearance in 22 years. In their first year back, their home form saw them peak as high as fourth place after 20 games.

Their return season changed drastically on 2 February 2007, due to the [[2007 Catania football violence]] incident. It happened during the [[Derby di Sicilia|Sicilian derby]] with [[S.S.D. Palermo|Palermo]], where policeman [[Filippo Raciti]] was killed during football-related violence caused by Catania [[ultras]] outside the [[Stadio Angelo Massimino]].<ref>{{cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/6326513.stm|title=Italian league halted by violence|date=2 February 2007|access-date=29 April 2018|via=news.bbc.co.uk|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170829125848/http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/6326513.stm|archive-date=29 August 2017|df=dmy-all}}</ref> The event led FIGC Commissioner [[Luca Pancalli]] to cancel all football-related events in the country for a period of time, including league and national team matches. Catania chairman and owner Antonino Pulvirenti announced his willingness to leave the football world, stating it was not possible to go on producing football in Catania.

After the Italian football league reopened, Catania continued on. They failed to win for 12 games in a row before beating [[Udinese Calcio|Udinese]] 1–0 in late April 2007, where they eventually finished 13th.<ref>{{cite web |title=Channel4.com |url=http://www.channel4.com/sport/football_italia/sa0607/udi-cat.html |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070601005655/http://www.channel4.com/sport/football_italia/sa0607/udi-cat.html |archive-date=1 June 2007 |access-date=20 June 2007 |df=dmy}}</ref>

The following season, with manager [[Pasquale Marino]] leaving for Udinese and [[Silvio Baldini]] taking charge of the team, proved to be much harder. In the [[Coppa Italia]], Catania reached to the semi-finals, then lost to [[A.S. Roma]]. Subsequently, Baldini resigned from his post on 31 March 2008, being replaced by [[Walter Zenga]]. Despite this, Zenga managed to lead the ''rossazzurri'' off the relegation zone in a heated final week game, a 1–1 home tie to Roma, with an equaliser goal scored by [[Jorge Andrés Martínez|Jorge Martínez]] in the 85th minute. Zenga was successively confirmed in charge of the team for the upcoming 2008–09 season.

On 5 June 2009, Zenga left Catania to be the manager at arch-rival football club Palermo. He was replaced by Gianluca Atzori, with one year of experience at Lega Pro Prima Divisione team [[Ravenna F.C.|Ravenna]]. Atzori was noted for using an attacking [[Formation (association football)#4–3–3|4–3–3]] formation at Ravenna and was expected to continue a similar approach with the ''Elefanti''.

On 8 December 2009, [[Siniša Mihajlović]] was appointed new head coach of Catania, taking over Atzori. He signed a contract until June 2011, with the ''Elefanti''. Arriving at the club that was dead last in the Serie A standings, Mihajlović debuted with a loss against [[A.S. Livorno Calcio|Livorno]]. The following week, his team beat [[Juventus F.C.|Juventus]] away in [[Turin]] with a 2–1 scoreline. After Mihajlović's departure to Fiorentina, Catania appointed [[Marco Giampaolo]] as new head coach for the 2010–11 season. In January 2011, Catania decided to remove Giampaolo from his position due to poor results and replace him with former Argentine football player [[Diego Simeone]], who managed to guide the Sicilians to safety before to part company by the end of the season, after only four months in charge of the team. Later, Catania appointed 37-year-old [[Vincenzo Montella]] to replace Simeone at his second managerial experience after having served as caretaker at Roma during the final part of the 2010–11 season.

[[Rolando Maran]] managed the team in the [[2012–13 Serie A|2012–13 season]], who guided Catania to a record-breaking season where they accrued 56 points from 38 Serie A matches. The season also saw Catania take a record number of home wins in one season, its record number of victories overall in a single top flight campaign, as well as its record points total in Serie A for the fifth consecutive season. They finished ahead of [[Inter Milan|Internazionale]] at the conclusion of the season and were just five points away from competing in the [[UEFA Europa League]].

===Second decline and 2022 bankruptcy (2013–2022) ===
After being relegated from Serie A after the [[2013–14 Serie A|2013–14 season]], Catania was again relegated to the [[Lega Pro]] and was deducted by nine points after. During the [[2014–15 Serie B|2014–15 season]], head coach and owner Antonio Pulvirenti admitted to [[match fixing|fixing]] five matches.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://football-italia.net/70882/prosecutor-catania-lega-pro|title=Prosecutor: Catania to Lega Pro - Football Italia|website=football-italia.net|access-date=29 April 2018|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160610123740/http://www.football-italia.net/70882/prosecutor-catania-lega-pro|archive-date=10 June 2016|df=dmy-all}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.football-italia.net/68461/pulvirenti-%E2%80%98%E2%82%AC100k-match%E2%80%99|title=Pulvirenti: '€100k per match' - Football Italia|website=www.football-italia.net|access-date=29 April 2018|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150907002157/http://www.football-italia.net/68461/pulvirenti-%E2%80%98%E2%82%AC100k-match%E2%80%99|archive-date=7 September 2015|df=dmy-all}}</ref>

The club announced that Sport Investment Group Italia S.p.A.

===2022 refoundation (2022–present)===
In June 2022, Australian development industry entrepreneur Ross Pelligra, whose mother was born in Catania, was assigned by the city the right to register a new club in the Italian [[Serie D]], in compliance with [[Article 52 of N.O.I.F.]] He promised to invest economical resources, with the main goal to bring back Catania in Serie A, additionally showing interest in acquiring the ''Torre Del Grifo'' training center, built during the Pulvirenti era.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.lasicilia.it/sport/ross-pelligra-catania-una-scelta-imprenditoriale-ma-anche-di-cuore-grandi-progetti-per-la-squadra-e-la-citta-1247709/|title=Ross Pelligra: "Catania una scelta imprenditoriale ma anche di cuore, grandi progetti per la squadra e la città"|date=27 June 2022}}</ref>
[[File:Catania SSD.png|thumb|Club Logo in the 2022–2023 season]]
The new club was renamed to Catania Società Sportiva Dilettantistica, with Ross Pelligra as president and [[Vincenzo Grella]] as vice-president, was subsequently admitted to the [[2022–23 Serie D]]. Catania then went onto finish  first in Group I in Serie D and obtain automatic promotion back into Serie C for the 2023–2024 season.

==Stadium information==
[[Image:Curva Nord di Catania.jpg|right|thumb|''Curva Nord'' supporters at Stadio Angelo Massimino, Catania]]
*'''Name:''' [[Stadio Angelo Massimino]]
*'''Location:''' [[Catania]]
*'''Capacity:''' 23,420
*'''Inauguration:''' 27 November 1937
*'''Pitch Size:''' 110 x 70 metres
Catania first made their debut at the [[Stadio Angelo Massimino]], formerly called the Stadio Cibali, in 1937. The stadium was renamed in honour of former president Angelo Massimino in 2002; he had been president of the club from 1969 until his death in 1996.

It has been proposed that the club would move to a 33,765 seater stadium named Stadio Dèi Palici, which is to be located in the southern outskirts of the city of Catania in an industrial zone called Pantano d'Arci.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.worldstadiums.com/stadium_menu/architecture/stadio_dei_palici.shtml|title=WorldStadiums.com|access-date=20 June 2007|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070616073943/http://www.worldstadiums.com/stadium_menu/architecture/stadio_dei_palici.shtml|archive-date=16 June 2007|df=dmy-all}}</ref>

==Sports centre==

Catania trains at the Torre del Grifo Village sports center, inaugurated on 18 May 2011 and located in the adjacent municipality of Mascalucia. Owned by the Etna club, the centre covers an area of 150,000 m<sup>2</sup> and has four regulation football fields—two with natural grass and two with synthetic grass—two swimming pools, and four gyms. In addition, Torre del Grifo houses the headquarters of Calcio Catania.{{Citation needed|date=July 2023}}
