The Story of Casertana FC
The club started way back in 1908. It was first called Robur Caserta. Later, from 1928, it became known as Unione Sportiva Casertana. This name lasted until 2005. At that time, the club had to stop playing because of money problems.
Casertana also played in Serie B (a higher league) two times. This happened in the 1970–71 and 1991–92 seasons.
In 2005, the club started again with a new name, A.S. Caserta Calcio. Later, it changed to A.S. Casertana Calcio. During the 2009–10 Serie D season, the team went back to its traditional name, Casertana.
The club became a professional team again at the end of the 2012–13 season. They finished fourth in Serie D and played in the promotion play-offs. Even though they lost to Virtus Verona in the final, they were still allowed to join Lega Pro Seconda Divisione. This happened because several other teams had to close down. In the 2013–14 season, the club finished second. This meant they moved up to the 2014–15 Lega Pro division.
