History

Founded in 1969 as Olimpic Lazio, the following year it played the third edition of Serie A. In 1975 it became a section of S.S. Lazio. With five national championships, it is as of 2011 the most successful Italian club pair with Torres CF.[5]

Installed through the 1970s in the top four positions, Lazio seemed to emerge as a powerhouse in the last years or the decade, winning the Coppa Italia in 1978 and its two first national championships in 1979 and 1980. The second half of the 1980s was also successful, with two further championships (1987, 1988) and cups, including a double in 1987.

Lazio declined throughout the 1990s and narrowly avoided relegation in 1997, but rose back in the late 1990s to win its fifth national championship in 2002 plus two further Cups. Such resurgence was short-lived and Lazio faced its worst crisis yet between 2004 and 2006, ending in Serie B (the league's third level) after two relegations in a row. However, by 2009 it was back in top flight.

In 2010 Lazio ended in mid table, while in 2011 the team avoided relegation by just one point.[6]

In September 2015 a new team "S.S. Lazio Women 2015 a r.l." was incorporated as a società a responsabilità limitata and participated in Serie B.[7][8] The team was owned by the professional male football club S.S. Lazio S.p.A. which originated from, but did not have any parent-subsidiary relation with the sports club S.S. Lazio. The original women team, S.S. Lazio Calcio Femminile, participated in Serie C instead.[9]
