THE DAWNS

Worth mentioning is the historic achievement of the title of Champion of Italy in the Allievi category.

THE PERIOD OF CRISIS

In the 70s the team falters in the local championships, in these years other city football clubs are born until 1977 when the union of the various Siderno football clubs is seen in a single team, AC Siderno, which starts again from the third category. This partnership was born from the commitment of a group of members: Filippo Sgambelluri, Damiano Verteramo, Pino Reale, Enzo Leonardo and the Sports Director Francesco Barillaro who lead the team to important goals.
