2010–11 Lega Pro Seconda Divisione

The 2011–12 Lega Pro Seconda Divisione season was the thirty-fourth football league season of Italian Lega Pro Seconda Divisione since its establishment in 1978, and the fourth since the renaming from Serie C to Lega Pro.

Contents

It was divided into two phases: the regular season, and the playoff phase.

Historically, the league was composed of 54 teams divided into three divisions of 18 teams each. This year, due to a significant reduction in qualified teams, it was decided that the league would be composed of 40 teams divided into two divisions (gironi) divided geographically. Catanzaro was re-admitted to the league after being previously excluded, increasing the number of teams to 41. Girone A is composed of 20 teams, and girone B is composed of 21 teams.

Teams finishing first and second in the regular season, plus one team winning the playoff round from each division will be promoted to Lega Pro Prima Divisione. The last three teams in the regular season, plus one relegation play-out loser from each division will be relegated to Serie D. The two relegation play-out winners, one from each division, will play each other and the loser will become the ninth team relegated. In all, six teams will be promoted to Lega Pro Prima Divisione, and nine teams will be relegated to Serie D.

Before the start of the season

On 1 July 2011 Lega Pro announces that four teams (Canavese, Crociati Noceto, Rodengo Saiano, Sangiovannese) would not join the Seconda Divisione League for 2011–12 season.

On 12 July Brindisi, Cavese, Cosenza, Matera and Sanremese did not appeal against the exclusion and were consequently relegated to Eccellenza or lower divisions.

On 9 August 2011 Alessandria relegated to the last place in 2010–11 Lega Pro Prima Divisione by Italian national disciplinary committee for match fixing. Monza readmitted in Lega Pro Prima Divisione in its place.
