The first recorded football match in Teramo took place on 15 July 1913. On 25 August 1929 l'Associazione Sportiva Teramo was founded originally playing in red and yellow kits, however in the following year the club was bankrupt and was taken over by the Sportiva Società Ginnastica Gran Sasso Teramo which gave the team their famous red and white kits. In 1935, the team goes bankrupt once again and in 1936 l'Associazione Polisportiva Interamnia was formed and football was once again played. After several seasons in
Serie C1, Teramo had a difficult
2006–07 campaign, 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 declare bankruptcy at the end of the season and was removed from the professional leagues. The team was refounded for the 2008–09 season, and won the league of
Promozione Abruzzo A, the seventh tier of Italian football. Teramo continued the movement up the Italian football pyramid the following year, winning the
Eccellenza Abruzzo and obtaining promotion to
Serie D. In its first season in the division Teramo lost the
Lega Pro Seconda Divisione playoff to
Rimini Calcio, however, earned direct promotion to the then Italian fourth division by winning the league the following year. In its first season in
Lega Pro Seconda Divisione, Teramo Calcio achieved a promotional playoff to
Lega Pro Prima Divisione where it lost in a 2-game showdown against
L'Aquila Calcio. In the
2013–14 season, Teramo competed once again in the 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 title and ascended to
Serie B for the first time in their 102 years of history, however, the title was subsequently revoked and promotion was denied due to Teramo's part in the
2015 Italian football scandal. In July 2022, Teramo was excluded from
Serie C due to financial issues. The club was subsequently reformed as
S.S.D. Città di Teramo and was admitted to play at the regional amateur
Promozione level. ==Colours and badge==
