Associazione Sportiva Dilettantistica Portogruaro (usually referred to as Portogruaro) is an Italian association football club, based in Portogruaro, Veneto. Currently it plays in Promozione.

History

Calcio Portogruaro-Summaga

Foundation

The club was founded in 1990 as Calcio Portogruaro-Summaga[2] after the merger of then-Promozione clubs Associazione Calcio Portogruaro (founded in 1919 in the city of Portogruaro) and Associazione Calcio Summaga (from Summaga, a frazione of Portogruaro itself).

From 2007 to 2013

In the Serie C2 2007-08 regular season, Portosummaga finished third in Girone B, and qualified for the promotional playoffs. The team defeated fourth-placed SPAL in the semi-finals, due to the fact it was the higher classified team after the pair ended in 4–4 aggregate tie. In the finals, it defeated second-placed Bassano Virtus 5–3 on aggregate to win promotion to, the now called, Lega Pro Prima Divisione for the 2008–09 season.

On 9 May 2010, under the tenure of former Serie A defender Alessandro Calori, the club defeated Verona on the final matchday to gain promotion to the Serie B, and they will therefore mark their first appearance in the Italian second tier in the 2010–11 season. However, the club was relegated back to Lega Pro Prima Divisione after only a single season in Serie B, finishing 21st. In the 2012-13 season the club was relegated to Lega Pro Seconda Divisione.

The club was refounded with the current name in the summer 2013 restarting from Promozione.
