A.S. Fidelis Andria (1971–2005) The club was founded in 1971 as
A.S. Fidelis Andria (
Associazione Sportiva Fidelis Andria). At that time, the club wore red and yellow, and it was the second club in town. In 1978, following the collapse of A.S. Andria, the club decided to adopt blue and white, the traditional colours of the town. With these colours, the club played for years in the
Serie B and
Serie C1: last playing in Serie B in 1999. After the 2004–05 season, the club declared bankruptcy.
A.S. Andria BAT (2005–2013) In summer 2005, the club was refounded as
A.S. Andria BAT (
Associazione Sportiva Andria BAT). The BAT stood for Barletta-Andria-Trani, as in the
province of Barletta-Andria-Trani. The team played in the
Lega Pro Seconda Divisione from the 2005–06 to 2008–09 seasons. At the end of the
2008–09 Lega Pro Seconda Divisione season, the team was admitted into
Lega Pro Prima Divisione after the forced relegation of
Avellino in
Serie D. At the end of the
2012–13 Lega Pro Prima Divisione season, the club was relegated after the play-offs, but didn't enroll in the
Lega Pro Seconda Divisione league.
S.S. Fidelis Andria 1928 (2013–2018) In its place, in summer 2013, a new team called
S.S.D. Fidelis Andria 1928 was founded and admitted to
Eccellenza Apulia. The team ended the season 2013–2014 in 2nd place. After winning the national play-offs, Fidelis Andria were promoted to
Serie D, the top level of the Italian non-professional football association. In season 2014–15, Fidelis Andria played in Group H of
Serie D. On April 26, after winning 3–2 away at
Cavese, the club was promoted to
Lega Pro, the third-highest football division in Italy, two matches before the end of the regular season. After the regular season, Fidelis Andria took part in the
Scudetto Serie D tournament, in order to assign the amateur champions' title. The team was eliminated in the group stages. Since July 1, 2015, having become a member of the Italian Professional Football League (
Lega Italiana Calcio Professionistico), commonly known as
Lega Pro, the club changed its name in
S.S. Fidelis Andria 1928. Fidelis Andria ended the season
2015–16 at 7th place, which allowed the club to participate in the next
2016–17 Coppa Italia. On May 7, after the last match of the season in
Catania, boss
Luca D'Angelo announced he wouldn't renew his contract with the club.
Fidelis Andria 2018 (2018–present) In July 2018 the club was declared bankrupt and was denied registration for the upcoming Serie C, based on Covisoc's assessment. On the date of the deadline for Serie D registration, a group of investors led by Marco Di Vincenzo formed S.S.D. Fidelis Andria 2018 as a reincarnation of S.S. Fidelis Andria 1928 to assume its sporting title. The reborn club was admitted to Serie D. In 2021, Fidelis Andria was admitted to play in
Serie C to fill a league vacancy. The club played two seasons in the Serie C before being relegated back to Serie D in 2023. == Colors and crest ==
