History
After several seasons in Serie C1, Teramo had a difficult 2006–07 season, finishing in 15th place, a position that forced them to play in the relegation playoffs. The club lost by a two-goal margin, 4–2 on aggregate to the 16th-place team, Ancona, and was thus relegated to Serie C2.
In the 2007–08 campaign, the team finished 8th in Serie C2/B, but was forced to declare bankruptcy at the end of the season.
The team was refounded for the 2008–09 season, and won the league of Promozione Abruzzo A, the seventh level of Italian football. The following year Teramo also won the Eccellenza Abruzzo, obtaining promotion to Serie D. In its first Serie D season Teramo Calcio lost the final to Lega Pro Seconda Divisione against Rimini Calcio and won the league the following year acceding directly to Lega Pro Seconda Divisione. In its first season in Lega Pro Seconda Divisione, Teramo Calcio achieved the final to Lega Pro Prima Divisione where it lost in a 2-game showdown against L'Aquila Calcio. In 2013–14 season then Teramo played again in Lega Pro Seconda Divisione and secured the promotion on 6 April 2014, on a home match against Arzanese. The following season the white and reds won a historic Lega Pro division acceding to Serie B for the first time in their 102 years of history. Since the new society has been refounded 7 years ago, Teramo Calcio has been promoted 5 times and has lost 2 finals.
In the 2014–15 it won promotion to Serie B, but it was revoked and was stripped of its title for sporting fraud (match fixing).
