The club was founded in 1923 as U.S. Sambenedettese, and spent 21 seasons in Serie B (last time in 1989) and 39 seasons in Serie C/LegaPro.[citation needed]
In 1994 the sports title of Sambenedettese S.p.A. was transferred to a new company named A.S. Sambenedettese Calcio that assumes the debts of the previous company.[citation needed]
In 2006 the sports title of S.S. Sambenedettese Calcio was transferred to a new company of the same name (P.IVA 01702690445).[1]
The club was refounded in 2009 as U.S. Sambenedettese 1923 by the company U.S. Sambenedettese 2009 S.S.D. A.R.L.[citation needed]
In 2012–13 season it won Group F of Serie D, but it was not promoted to Lega Pro Seconda Divisione as it was excluded by Federal Council's decision for incomplete documentation of submission to the league.[2] The company behind the club also changed the name to U.S. Sambenedettese 1923 S.r.l. at that time.[3]
In summer 2013 the club was refound as A.S.D. Sambenedettese Calcio[4] by the entrepreneur Gianni Moneti restarting from Eccellenza.[citation needed] with the 2013–14 season seeing the club claim the victory in Eccellenza Marche and promotion from Serie D. The next year Manolo Bucci joined the company with Moneti, with the new company aiming to win the Serie D Girone F, but at the end of season the club finished in third place and lost the first match of the play-offs. On 17 June 2015 Bucci left Sambenedettese and Moneti looked for another partner.[citation needed] On 4 August 2015 Moneti, sold the company to Franco Fedeli, who two days later submitted repechage to apply for Lega Pro to FIGC.[citation needed]
In 2016 the club were promoted back to Lega Pro as the Group F winner of 2015–16 Serie D. The club was known as S.S.D. Sambenedettese ARL at that time.[5] At the start of 2016–17 season the company behind the club changed the name to S.S. Sambenedettese S.r.l. (P.IVA 02177180441), but marketing as S.S. Sambenedettese Calcio. On 2020, the club was sold by Franco Fedeli to Italian-Argentine entrepreneur and Bangor City F.C. owner Domenico Serafino.[6] However, less than a year later, after Serafino's failure to comply with several financial requirements, the club was declared bankrupt.
The club's name was then assigned to entrepreneur Roberto Renzi and the club was refounded as A.S. Sambenedettese. After repaying all debts, was formally accepted by the Italian Football Federation, this way maintaining their spot in the Serie C league.[7] The club was however excluded from Serie C due to financial irregularities and successively admitted to Serie D following a successful appeal and the payment of a league membership fee.[8]
