'''Società Sportiva Calcistica Ancona''', commonly referred to as '''Ancona''', is an [Italian football](/source/Football_in_Italy) club based in [Ancona](/source/Ancona), [Marche](/source/Marche), currently playing in {{Italian football updater|Ancona}}.
The club is the heir of the defunct former [Serie A](/source/Serie_A) club [Ancona](/source/A.C._Ancona), with whom it shares its official historical logo. The history of football in Ancona dates back to 1905, when the original club was founded.
==History==
Ancona has a long history of football clubs sharing the same red and white colours and a similar logo. Originally, the club was named Anconitana, but its name was changed in the 1980s to reflect the city of Ancona. Reaching the final of the [1994 Coppa Italia](/source/1994_Coppa_Italia_Final) and spending two seasons in the Serie A, eleven years apart, the original club was refounded after a [2004](/source/2003%E2%80%9304_Serie_A) relegation from the top flight in last place. This came after the club had loaded up on experienced players of high profile, such as [Mário Jardel](/source/M%C3%A1rio_Jardel), [Dario Hübner](/source/Dario_H%C3%BCbner) and [Eusebio Di Francesco](/source/Eusebio_Di_Francesco), without success. Six years later, the club was refounded again, demoting it from the second to the fourth tier. In 2017, a third bankruptcy led to the refounded club dropping out of the professional leagues.
The most recent club was founded in 2021 as the merger of [Serie C](/source/Serie_C) club [S.S. Matelica Calcio 1921](/source/S.S._Matelica_Calcio_1921), from the city of [Matelica](/source/Matelica), with Ancona-based [Eccellenza](/source/Eccellenza) club Anconitana.[{{cite web |url=https://www.gazzetta.it/Calcio/altri-campionati/15-06-2021/serie-c-matelica-riparte-fianco-dell-ancona-2021-il-doppio-nome-4102011187708.shtml |publisher=La Gazzetta dello Sport |language=Italian |accessdate=20 June 2021 |date=15 June 2021 |title=Serie C, riecco l'Ancona: ripartirà al fianco del Matelica. Con doppio nome}}]
As part of the merger, all logos and naming rights of Matelica were given away to [Prima Categoria](/source/Prima_Categoria) club G.S. Corrado Fabiani Matelica, formally owned by chairman Mauro Canil's wife and which is now to be legally considered the heir of Matelica itself,[{{cite web |url=https://www.cronachemaceratesi.it/2021/06/17/la-fabiani-si-trasforma-diventera-s-s-matelica-calcio-1921/1538439/ |publisher=Cronache Maceratesi |language=Italian |accessdate=23 August 2021 |date=17 June 2021 |title=La Fabiani si trasforma: diventerà S.S. Matelica Calcio 1921}}] whereas, as part of the merger, Anconitana brought the original footballing logo, as well as the rights to use the [Stadio del Conero](/source/Stadio_del_Conero) in the city of [Ancona](/source/Ancona).[{{cite web |url=https://www.ilrestodelcarlino.it/ancona/calcio/matelica-ancona-calcio-1.6486362 |publisher=Il Resto del Carlino |language=Italian |accessdate=23 August 2021 |date=15 June 2021 |title=Ancona Matelica Calcio: c'è l'accordo. Stadio, maglia e stemma}}] The new club's board will be the same as Matelica's, with Mauro Canil as majority shareholder and chairman, whereas Anconitana's original owner Stefano Marconi will be linked to Ancona-Matelica as the club's official main sponsor for the following five years.[{{cite web |url=https://www.lacasadic.com/news-serie-c/tiong-conferenza-stampa-presentazione-ancona-matelica-news-30-marzo-2022/|publisher=La Casa di C |language=it |accessdate=30 March 2022 |date=30 March 2022 |title=Ancona-Matelica, Tiong si presenta: "Il mio obiettivo è stare qui il più a lungo possibile"}}] By the end of the season, the club changed its denomination to '''Unione Sportiva Ancona''', thus severing its association with Matelica altogether.[{{cite web |url=https://www.tuttocampo.it/Marche/News/1493487/ancona-matelica-ufficiale-il-cambio-di-denominazione|publisher=Tuttocampo |language=it |accessdate=8 August 2022 |date=1 July 2022 |title=ANCONA - MATELICA. Ufficiale il cambio di denominazione}}] After two seasons, the club was excluded again from Serie C after the ownership failed to comply with the financial and legal requirements in time and then restarted from [Serie D](/source/Serie_D) with the denomination of '''SSC Ancona ASD''' by means of [Article 52 of NOIF](/source/Article_52_of_NOIF).[{{cite web |url=https://www.vivereancona.it/2024/07/15/calcio-la-ssc-ancona-ufficialmente-iscritta-al-campionato-di-serie-d-per-la-stagione-sportiva-2024-25/311523 |publisher=Vivere Ancona |language=it |date=2024-07-13 |accessdate=2024-07-18 |title=Calcio: la Ssc Ancona è ufficialmente iscritta al Campionato di Serie D per la stagione sportiva 2024-25}}]
