How Fermana Started
Fermana Football Club began in 1920. It was first called S.S. La Fermo. In 1924, it joined with another team, Fermo F.C. After this, the club was renamed U.S. Fermana.
Playing in Higher Leagues
In 1999, Fermana had a big win. They won the Serie C1/B title. This was a huge moment for the club. It meant they would play in Serie B for the first time ever. Serie B is a higher level of Italian football. However, they only stayed in Serie B for one season. They were then moved back down to Serie C1.
In 2005–06, Fermana had a tough season. They finished last in Serie C1/A. This meant they were moved down to Serie C2. The club also faced some financial difficulties. Because of this, they had to give up their spot in Serie C2.
