History
The club was founded in 1962 and in the following years alternating between the D series championships, Eccellenza and Promozione.
Then in the 2000âÂÂ01 season came yet another qualification to Serie D in these years, when the team reached the final of Coppa Italia Serie D, losing to Pievigina.
In 2006âÂÂ07 Grottaglie for the first time in its history got into the qualifying play-offs for promotion, but it lost the first game to another team from Apulia, ASD Barletta. The following season, it moved up to 5th place in the league, and again gained qualification for the playoffs, although the race ended at this juncture in the first round against ASD Barletta.
At the end of the 2008âÂÂ09 season the team was ranked at 15th and had to go into a relegation play-off against Bitonto. On 7 June 2009, Grottaglie lost 1âÂÂ0 in an away match at Bitonto, after drawing 0âÂÂ0 in the first leg, and moved back down to Eccellenza. However, on 2 September 2009, Grottaglie returned to Serie D after the decision of the National Court of Arbitration for Sport to reassign the places in the league. In season 2013âÂÂ14 Grottaglie play the Serie D Group H, and it arrived at 16th but won the relegation play-off and thus remained in Serie D. From 2014 to 2017 Grottaglie was relegated from Serie D (the 4th level of Italian Football) to Prima Categoria (the 8th level of Italian Football). In season 2017âÂÂ18 Grottaglie play for the first time in Prima Categoria and win the Apulia Cup for the first time in their history. In Season 2018âÂÂ19 Grottaglie end the season at the 1st place and is promoted to Promozione Apulia. In Season 2019âÂÂ20 Grottaglie ended the season at the 10th place after the league was stopped for the COVID-19 emergence. After that the club was promoted in Eccellenza Apulia because of the renewal of the league.
