F.C. Südtirol (usually referred to as simply Südtirol or less popularly Südtirol-Alto Adige) is an Italian association football club, based in the city of Bolzano, South Tyrol.[1]

History

The club was founded in 1974 in Brixen as S.V. Milland.

The team was renamed to FC Südtirol-Alto Adige in 1995; Alto Adige is the Italian name of the province while Südtirol its German name. In 2000 the company incorporated as Fußballclub Südtirol s.r.l., thus becoming FC Südtirol and relocating to Bolzano [2] (though it was legally based in Brixen until 2011[1]).

In the 2010-11 Lega Pro Prima Divisione season, Südtirol was relegated to Lega Pro Seconda Divisione after the play-off,[3] but on 4 August 2011 was readmitted to Lega Pro Prima Divisione to fill vacancies.[4]
