Virtus CiseranoBergamo 1909 is an Italian football club. It comes from Ciserano, a town in Lombardy, Italy. The club was formed in 2019.

Football started in Alzano a long time ago. The first club was founded in 1909. It was called Foot-Ball Club Alzano.

In the summer of 1993, two clubs merged. These were Foot-Ball Club Alzano and Centro Giovanile Virescit Boccaleone. The new team was named Alzano 1909 Virescit Football Club. Centro Giovanile Virescit Boccaleone was a successful club from Bergamo. It had played in Serie C1 in the 1980s.

The team then played in Serie B, a very important league. However, their time in Serie B lasted only one season. They went back down to Serie C1 the next year. In 2003, the club moved down to Serie C2. Sadly, the team was later removed from the league. This happened because of money problems.
