Supercoppa di Serie C


The Supercoppa di Serie C, formerly named Supercoppa di Lega Pro, is an Italian football competition played by the three group winners of Serie C. The competition was inaugurated in 2000.

Forerunners

The FIGC introduced a third-level national football championship for the first time following the reforms of 1926. The Direttorio Divisioni Inferiori Nord, the fascist authority ruling the second division in Northern Italy, introduced a national cup for the group winners.
In 1928 the fascists decided to allow the fully national Direttorio Divisioni Superiori to organize the third-level championship instead. A cup for the group winners, and promotion to newly-born Serie B was maintained.
However, Italian tifosi showed very little interest for this honorific cup, so it was discontinued for seventy years.
