U.S. Nola was founded in 1925.
The first championship in which Nola took part was the Terza Divisione 1925-26, then won by Puteolana. After this championship, Nola decided to join the ULIC Serie A league. Nola won its division of the southern league and the qualification match against Caserta Campania to qualify to the finals against Palermo. Nola won 6-1 and advanced to the central-south final against Virtus Roma, champion of Central Italy: the winner would face the Northern Italy champion for the national title. Nola won the game on field 2-0, but the sports court reverted the result because of the improper position of one of its players, Spiltzer.
After an appearance in the 1928–29 Prima Divisione season, Nola has always played in the amateur level, until its promotion to Serie C2 in 1984–85. After several years of good results in the fourth tier, Nola was promoted to Serie C1 after the 1989–90 season.
In 1990 Nola changed its name to S.S. Nola 1925 and participated in Serie C1 seasons 1990–91 (13th), 1991–92 (10th), 1992–93 (14th), 1993–94 (16th, relegated and then rescued ), 1994–95 (6th) and 1995–96 (16th and relegated). Nola declared bankrupt in 1996.
Nola was refounded in 1996 as Virtus Nola 1925 after the acquisition of the sports title of "Castelsangiorgio" in Eccellenza. In 1997 the club was renamed Sanità Nola after the acquisition of the sports title of "Sanità Napoli" in Serie D, but the team was relegated to Eccellenza Campania. In summer 1998 Nola was renamed Comprensorio Nola.
In the 2000-01 season the club won the Coppa Italia Dilettanti, obtaining direct promotion to Serie D. Nola beat lombard team U.S. Caratese in the final 2-1, after having won the Regional Coppa Italia Campania.
In 2002 it transferred its sports title of Serie D to S.S. Juve Stabia.
After having sold its title to Juve Stabia, two club were founded to take Comprensorio Nola's place: F.C. Sporting Nola and Boys Nola 2004.
A.S.D. Sporting Nola 2002 was founded in summer 2002 by Nolan football fans, as F.C. Sporting Nola.
The team currently plays in Prima Categoria Campania in the 2010-11 season after an ascent started in Terza Categoria Campania in the 2002-03 season.[2]
Boys Nola 2004 was founded in summer 2004 and won the league of Seconda Categoria in 2004–05 and Prima Categoria in 2005–06, gaining promotion to Promozione ranking 3rd in 2006-07 season. Thanks to the merger with Atletico, the club took part directly to 2007-08 Eccellenza Campania with the new name of A.S.D. Atletico Nola 1925.
It has played in Eccellenza Campania from 2007-08 to 2009-10. The club won its division at the end of the 2009-10 Eccellenza and was thus promoted to Serie D, the highest amateur league in Italy. At the end of the 2010-11 Serie D season, the club relegated back to Eccellenza. In the season 2010-11 it plays in Eccellenza Campania.[3]
In summer 2011 Nuvla San Felice was born after the merger of G.S. Capriatese (based in Capriati a Volturno and playing in Serie D) and the football academy San Feliciano of San Felice a Cancello. The club was initally named G.S.D. Nola Città dei Gigli, but later changed its denomination to the current one.[4]. The club then asked and obtained the move from Capriati a Volturno to San Felice a Cancello[5], but it is the main team of Nola[6] and confirmed that it would play in the 2011-12 Serie D season[7].
The colors of the teams of Nola: Nuvla San Felice, Atletico Nola and Sporting Nola are white and black, like those of the historic U.S. Nola.
During the 80s and the 90s (with Nola Calcio was at its prime) there were three main support groups: Ultras Nola (born in the 80s), Indians Nola (1994) and Nasty Boys (1995). After Nola's bankruptcy, the organized supporter groups gradually fell into decline, to rise again after nearly a decade, with new groups created when the club reached Eccellenza.
The Nolan supporters are friends with the Juve Stabia, Savoia, Salerno, Sora and Rutigliano, while they have rivalries with the fans of Avellino, Casertana, Turris, Ebolitana and Stasia.
