1914: Foundation The club was founded in 1914 as
Foot-Ball Club Entella. It took its name from the river
Entella, flowing between
Chiavari and
Lavagna.
2001: Bankruptcy Foot-Ball Club Entella went
bankrupt in 2001.
2002: Refoundation It was refounded in 2002 as
Unione Sportiva Valle Sturla Entella. In the summer of 2010 it was renamed
Virtus Entella, after it had been admitted in
Lega Pro Seconda Divisione. In summer 2012, Virtus Entella was promoted, for the first time, to
Lega Pro Prima Divisione by
repechage to fill the vacancies created. They completed the 2012–13 season in style, taking part to the promotion playoff, where they were defeated by
Lecce in the semi-finals. In the 2013–14 season, Virtus Entella took part in
Girone A of the Italian third tier, and topped the league for most of the season. On 4 May 2014, a 2–1 away win at
Cremonese in the final day of the season ensured Virtus Entella the league championship title and a spot in the
2014–15 Serie B, in what will be the club's first appearance ever in the Italian second tier.
2014: Serie B Period The team was promoted in Serie B for the first time in history in 2014. In the
2014–15 season they got relegated once again, in the relegation playoffs as they lost to
Modena. But after the relegation of
Calcio Catania to
Lega Pro for sporting fraud it was readmitted to Serie B. Virtus Entella finished 19th at the conclusion of the
2017–18 season and lost a relegation playoff to
Ascoli by virtue of being the lower ranked team after the two-legged tie finished 0–0 on aggregate.
2018: Return to Serie C The team returned to the Italian third tier, now named Serie C for the
2018-19 season. During the season, they also achieved a surprise qualification to the round of 16 of the
2018–19 Coppa Italia, defeating
Genoa on penalties during the process. That season they won the Serie C and thus earned promotion to the
Serie B. ==Current squad==
