Unione Sportiva Fermana is an Italian association football club, based in Fermo, Marche.

History

The club was originally founded in 1920 as Fermana Calcio as the merger of Fermo F.C. and S.S. La Fermo.

In 1999 Fermana won the Serie C1/B title under head coach Ivo Iaconi, thus ensuring a historical first appearance into Serie B. That season proved to be the only one, as they were promptly relegated back into Serie C1.

Fermana relegated to Serie C2 after a disappointing 2005–06 Serie C1/A campaign ended in a poor last place, and 13 points in 34 matches. Following this relegation the club, under heavy financial struggles, were forced to gave up their Serie C2 membership.

A new club, named Unione Sportiva Fermana, was founded on 2006 and admitted to Group A of amateur regional Prima Categoria (8th level of Italian football). They were promoted to Promozione in 2006–07, missing the chance to be promoted to Eccellenza after being defeated 2–1 (aggregate score) by Cuprense in the playoff finals. In season 2007-2008, Fermana won the championship and it is promoted in Eccellenza, but Fermana ended the season in 7 th place after a disastrous year behind rival Sambenedettese (who won the championship). The following year 2010-2011, the league made ​​a Fermana amazing, but the final day drew the game with another rival team the Ancona 2-2 and lost the championship by one point. The 2011-2012 season opens with the Fermana in a more balanced league victory and hope in it.
