Football Club Giaveno is an Italian football club located in Giaveno, Piedmont. It currently plays in Serie D. Its colors are red and blue.
[edit] History
The club was founded in 1968 with the name of U.S. Giaveno (another team from the Province of Turin). Giaveno spent a long time in the regional Piedmont leagues, and wouldn't gain promotion from the Terza Categoria until the 1980s. When it finally came, they did however record a double promotion, gaining promotion to the Prima Categoria.
In 1986 the football club fused with the U.S. Coazze, giving the club a new name; A.C. Giaveno Coazze. The small club succeeded to conquer the championship of Prima Categoria at the first attempt, they went on to win the Promozione in order to pass into the hunt for the Eccellenza championship. Giaveno achieved Eccellenza victory the following season.
Giaveno first competed in Serie D during the 1989/1990 season, and the successive season finished at sixth place in the championship. The following season the club were not as fortunate and were relegated; they only gained promotion back to Serie D during the 2002/2003 season. This is where they remain currently.
