S.S.D. Monza 1912

Società Sportiva Dilettantistica Monza 1912, or S.S.D. Monza 1912, is an Italian football club based in Monza, Lombardy.

Founded in 1912, Monza currently plays in Serie D (fourth division), having last been in Serie B in 2000. Monza spent the last few years in Serie C1 and Serie C2.

History

Monza was founded on 1 September 1912. The club took the name of Monza Foot-Ball Club and adopted the blue and white colours.

It wasn't the merger of two clubs as commonly believed just because those teams Pro Monza and Pro Italia (both born in 1910) merged becoming the football section of a cycling team called Veloce Club Monzese which met Monza F.C. a couple of times always as winners.

The club's first win came on 15 September 1912 against Juventus Italia of Milan. The setting for the game was outside the town limits at Triante (Monza's west suburbs) commonly called "out doors", a pitch lent from the Township. There Monza F.C. played many friendly matches including the Colli's Cup. Monza won the Cup with a score of 3 to 2, defeating Saronno F.C. in the final.
