History
edit
The club was founded in 1952.[2] As one of the historical amateur clubs of Milan with a state-of-the-art youth system, Alcione was chaired throughout the years by renowned people such as former Inter Milan chairman Ernesto Pellegrini and former Milan mayor Carlo Tognoli.[2]
Alcione were promoted to Serie D for the first time in 2021. Two years later, after finishing the 2022–23 Serie D regular season in second place behind Lumezzane, they won the promotion playoff tournament under the guidance of head coach Giovanni Cusatis.
By the end of the season, Alcione was announced to be at the top of the table of potential teams to be admitted in the 2023–24 Serie C in case of a vacancy, and that they would be playing their home games at the Arena Civica in case.[3] However, the Serie C committee eventually rejected the request of readmission due to the Arena Civica not been deemed as suitable for league games.[4]
On 21 April 2024, Alcione won promotion to Serie C after mathematically winning the Group A title of the 2023–24 Serie D with two games to go.[5]
