Football Club Esperia Viareggio[1] is an Italian football club located in Viareggio, Tuscany. It currently plays in Serie C2. Its colors are white and black.
It is the heir of the old Viareggio Calcio, cancelled by the football federation in 2002, with a history of seasons spent at the Serie C level, notably from 1990 to 1994 and from 1997 to 2002. The current denomination has been assumed in honour to the first team founded in the city.
Promoted in 2006 after having won its Eccellenza round, Esperia Viareggio gained its second consecutive promotion on April 22, 2007 by mathematically winning the Round E of Serie D in advance of four matchdays. The club will therefore play Serie C2 in 2007-2008.
