Foundation and early years The club was founded in 1909 as
Football Club Treviso and never played in the top flight of Italian football, always taking part in the lower national divisions, from
Serie B to
Serie D, with a sixth place in the 1950–51 Serie B table, under head coach
Nereo Rocco, as its best result. In 1993 the club was shut down because of financial troubles.
1990s and 2000s: from amateur to Serie A In summer 1993 a new club was admitted to Serie D, as
F.B.C. Treviso 1993. The club experienced a remarkable line of three consecutive promotions from 1994 to 1997 under coach
Giuseppe Pillon which brought Treviso to Serie B, over 40 years after its last appearance in the second-highest Italian league. Treviso was relegated to
Serie C1 in 2001, but returned to Serie B in 2003. In 2005, Pillon returned to Treviso and the team gained a respectable fifth place and a spot in the promotion playoffs but lost out to
Perugia. However, in August 2005, after both
Genoa and
Torino were relegated out of
Serie A, respectively for fraud and financial troubles, Treviso and
Ascoli were arbitrarily promoted in Serie A as replacements. In
2005–06, Treviso played in Italian Serie A for the first and, as so far, only time since its foundation. The team was coached by
Ezio Rossi, then replaced by
Alberto Cavasin. The team was initially forced to play their Serie A home games at the
Stadio Euganeo, in the nearby city of
Padua, because of the inadequacy of their home stadium, considered inadequate for Serie A matches owing both to security and capacity issues by the
FIGC. However, a special legal dispensation was approved by the Italian parliament to allow Treviso to play at their home ground. Treviso's Serie A stay was short-lived. In bottom place for nearly the entire 2005–06 season, they were officially relegated to Serie B for the '06–'07 campaign following a 3–1 loss to
Messina on 9 April 2006. While it initially appeared that Treviso would avoid relegation despite finishing 20th as a result of forced relegations arising elsewhere as a consequence of the
Serie A match-fixing scandal, Treviso were eventually relegated to Serie B on 25 July 2006 when
S.S. Lazio and
ACF Fiorentina's penalties were reduced by the Italian appeals court and those teams remained in Serie A. Back in Serie B Treviso started to face financial problems, with a net loss of €4.17 million in the 2006–07 season. The club had re-capitalized for over €7.5 million, but the net result was still €1.32 million in the 2007–08 season, with some notional selling profit for
Dino Fava (who returned to Treviso for the same price, €900,000) and
Massimo Coda (in a cash-plus player deal), as well as selling youth product
Jacopo Fortunato and
Riccardo Bocalon for €900,000 each in cash-plus-play deal (residual 50% rights of
Alex Cordaz and
Daniel Maa Boumsong (€1.05M in total). Financial irregularities also made FIGC penalize Treviso for 4 points in total, but 3 of them were removed by CONI. Furthermore, rising star
Leonardo Bonucci left Treviso in January 2009 and the club lacked funds to reinforce the team since the start of 2008–09. The only deal that received cash from selling was
Alessio Sestu (50% for €400,000). The club ultimately went bankrupt in the summer of 2009, after it suffered relegation from Serie B that same year.
2009 refoundation A new club named
A.S.D. Treviso 2009 was founded as a successor club, and was admitted to play in the
Eccellenza Veneto which at the time was the 6th tier of Italian football, in the summer of 2009. In the 2010–11 season, Treviso was promoted from
Serie D group C to
Lega Pro Seconda Divisione and was renamed
Football Club Treviso. In the next it was promoted to
Lega Pro Prima Divisione. In the 2012–13 season the club was relegated to Lega Pro Seconda Divisione, and then excluded again. The club was successively refounded as
A.C.D. Treviso in the summer 2013, restarting from
Promozione. The club achieved promotion to
Eccellenza following the 2013–14 season, winning the promotion playoffs. In 2021, the club changed its name to
Treviso F.B.C. 1993 and was promoted to Eccellenza. After failing to secure promotion to the Serie D by losing the playoff against
Montecchio Maggiore on penalties, they won Group B of the Eccellenza Veneto in the 2022–23 season, returning to the fourth tier of Italian football after a 10-year absence in a national league. They had a long-standing promotion battle with Calvi Noale, Portomansuè, and Godigese, with the decisive victory coming on the final day at
Stadio Omobono Tenni in the derby against
Giorgione, ending in a 2–0 win. == Colors and badge ==
