History






= Foundation

Founded in 1922 with the name of Unione Sportiva Scafatese, the club initially played in the Second and Third Division championships; it was in 1941, beating Avellino 15-0 in the decisive match, that they reached Serie C for the first time, playing the two seasons preceding the interruption due to the Second World War.

At the resumption of the championships, the Campania team was enrolled in the 1945-46 Serie C championship, which finished in third place, earning promotion to Serie B for the 1946-47 season, thanks to the resignation of the two teams (Benevento and Gladiator) that preceded it in the standings. The first year in Serie B the Gialloblù closed the championship in fourth place in equal points with Lecce, in front of them instead ranked the cousins of Salernitana promoted to A, Ternana and Pescara. In the 1947-1948 championship instead he placed in twelfth place that cost the relegation to Serie C due to the reform of the championships.

The team, victim of a financial breakdown, retired at the start of the 1948-1949 Serie C championship, after scraping just one point in 11 days.

After retiring due to economic problems the previous year, Scafatese participated in the First Division championship for 3 seasons (fifth series at the time, after Serie A, B, C and Promotion). In 1952-53, following the establishment of the Fourth Series, it participated in the Promotion championship for 2 seasons, before being relegated to the First Division, remaining there until 1956/57, when it was promoted to the national amateur championship. In the 1957-1958 season Scafatese won their group ahead of Turris but lost the next regional phase due to the category jump, things went worse the following year where the Canaries came second in group D behind their cousins Angri. In the 1959-1960 season, promotion to Serie D arrived, in fact, after a fully dominated championship, the Canaries gained access to the fourth series by beating first Frattese and then Ischia in the regional finals for admission to the fourth series. Scafatese thus entered the national finals where, after beating Libertas Potenza, Morrone and Calangianus, they played the final in Rimini for the title of Italian champion against Ponziana from Trieste, but after a 1-1 draw the referee he entrusted the victory of the tournament to the coin and the Canaries had to renounce the Italian amateur title. The 1960s saw Scafatese compete in Serie D for nine consecutive years, where the best finish was fourth place in the 1962-63 season, and then relegated at the end of the 1968-69 championship. At the beginning of the 70s the abyss first came for Scafatese with relegation to the First Category and then the subsequent rebirth, returning after a year to the Promotion where the team immediately began to come close to returning to the fourth series several times, concluding the seasons 1972-73 and 1974-75 in second place, but finally in 1975-76 he returned after seven years to Serie D. In the 1976-77 and 1977-78 seasons the Canaries played in the Serie D championship, relegating at the end of the latter in promotion.

After this relegation the team struggled to recover, indeed a crisis of results in 1983-84 caused Scafatese to sink into the First Category, and only by merging in 1986 with Don Bosco Oplonti returned to register in the Promotion. The yellow-blues placed second in 1987-88 behind Ebolitana, and again in 1988-89 in second place behind Nocerina but this time they were still rescued in the Interregional. From the 1989-1990 season the Canaries played eight consecutive championships in the fourth series, winning salvation on the last day more than once, until relegation came in the 1996-97 season. In both the 1997-98 and 1998-99 seasons, Scafatese played in the regional Eccellenza championship with little satisfaction.

The 1999-2000 championship, however, proved to be exciting, in fact with twenty victories, nine draws and only one defeat against the grey-reds of Angri, Scafatese won the tournament and returned to Serie D after three years, however in the 2000-2001 season the Canarini relegated following the 2-1 defeat in Olbia on the penultimate day of the championship. In 2003-2004 the yellow-blue team managed to return to Serie D by beating Gragnano 2-1 on the last day of the championship at the Romeo Menti in Castellammare di Stabia. This time the Gialloblù achieved safety in Serie D in the 2004-2005 season after winning the play-out match.
After fourth place in the 2005-2006 season, the following year they managed to return to Serie C, after an exciting duel with Sibilla Cuma from Bacoli, who were five points behind at the end of the season. The typical formation of the Scafatese team that won the 2006-07 Serie D championship coached by Egidio Pirozzi is: Sorriso, Baylon, Santamaria, Cordua, De Franco, Ginobili, Marzano, Marasco, Cosa, Sarli, Spinelli. And so on 6 May 2007, Scafatese finally landed in C2, defeating the Lazio team Pisoniano 6-3 at the Comunale di Scafati in front of around seven thousand spectators.

In Serie C2 in the 2007-2008 season, Scafatese, after avoiding direct relegation on the last day by winning at home to Real Marcianise, crossed Val di Sangro in the play-outs, saving themselves at the end of the double match (1-0 at home and 2 -2 in Abruzzo). In the 2008-2009 championship this time the team managed to achieve its seasonal objective by avoiding the play-outs two days early and therefore directly saving itself in a year where the Canaries performed well, just as there was a quiet salvation also in the season 2009-2010.

In the summer of 2010, due to serious economic problems, the company was not registered in the Lega Pro Seconda Division championship but did not fail and started again from the Third Category, where it managed to win three consecutive championships, to then carry out a merger with the club of Montecorvino Rovella thus enrolling in the Eccellenza championship for the 2013-2014 season. In the 2014-15 season Scafatese reached the final of the Regional Italian Cup but was defeated 2-0 by Virtus Volla, while the following year they were relegated after losing the play-out against Valdiano. The team thus starts again from the Promotion where in the 2017-2018 season it manages to return to Excellence after two years, a category that Scafatese maintains the following year after winning the play-out playoff. After this salvation, the team continues to compete in the Eccellenza championship also in the 2019-2020 season and then in 2020-2021, being defeated in the latter year in the first round of the play-offs. Scafatese subsequently reached the play-offs for another three consecutive seasons, but was eliminated first by Savoia in the 2021-2022 season, then by Agropoli in the 2022-2023 championship and finally by the Amalfi Coast in 2023-24.
