The foundation An ancestor of the club was known to have played since at least the early-1930s as
Associazione Calcio Agrigento. The club had moderate success in the lower divisions of
Italian football; it progressed beyond the regional Sicilian scene to
Serie C for the first time in the 1939–40 season. By the late 1940s A.C. Agrigento had fallen in stature, competing in the regional
Promozione Sicily league after being relegated; rather than using the Italianized version of the name, the club paid homage to the city's
Magna Graecia roots. A noted figure in Sicilian football,
Carmelo Di Bella was put in place as the club's first manager, while Gaspare Gallo was its first captain. To attract the attention of the supporters of defunct Agrigento, Akragas changed its colour, abandoning its violet and taking the white and blue of Agrigento. In the 2013–14 season, Akragas barely missed out on promotion to
Lega Pro in favour of
Savoia, but would go on to achieve this in the next season by winning Group I of the
Serie D league. They began to play in the
Lega Pro after the
2015–16 season. Club president Silvio Alessi announced on 13 July 2018, that the team did not register for the
upcoming season of Serie D, to which it had been relegated, and the club had been placed in liquidation. The club was successively refounded and admitted to the
Promozione amateur league of Sicily in 2018. In 2023, Akragas won the
Eccellenza Sicily (Group A) title and assured promotion to
Serie D. ==Colours and badge==
