Football Club Aprilia Racing Club is an Italian association football club based in Aprilia, Lazio.

History

The club was founded in 1971 as Associazione Calcio Aprilia.[1]

In 2009 the club, which was playing in Eccellenza Lazio, acquired the sports rights of Serie D team F.C. Latina, which were made available after the latter club merged with US Virtus Latina to form Latina and thus becomes F.C. Rondinelle Latina SSD.[2]

On 26 May 2010 the club changed name to the current one, back then the name of the city after a year of transition.[3]

Lega Pro Seconda Divisione

At the end of the 2010–11 season the club won group G of Serie D and was promoted to Lega Pro Seconda Divisione.

The debut in the Lega Pro Seconda Divisione for the 2011–2012 season was very satisfying finishing fifth and securing a place in the playoffs for promotion to Lega Pro Prima Divisione, losing in the semi-final to Chieti.

Serie D and Racing Club

The club changed its denomination to Aprilia Racing Club after Antonio Pezone, former owner of Racing Roma and Racing Fondi, relocated the latter to Aprilia.
