Varese FC


Varese Football Club, or simply Varese FC or Varese, is a football club based in Varese, Lombardy, Italy. The club was founded in 2019 as ASD Città di Varese by three fans, following the dissolution of Varese Calcio, and won the Terza Categoria in their debut season. In 2020, the club merged with Busto 81 and gained the right to play in the 2020–21 Serie D Group A. They changed their name back to Varese FC in 2025.

History

The club was established by three football fans from Varese – Stefano Pertile, Stefano Amirante and Cesare Bonazzi – on 26 July 2019, with the purpose to "keep alive" Varese's name in the Italian football league system, following the dissolution of Varese Calcio. As a matter of fact, Città di Varese adopted the historic colours of the football club founded in 1910, but never openly claimed any inheritance of the ceased team.
In its maiden season, coached by Stefano Iori, Città di Varese won the 2019–20 Terza Categoria Varese Group B, the lowest tier of the Italian football pyramid. On 16 July 2020, prior to the 2020–21 season, the club merged with Busto 81 and obtained the right to participate in the Serie D Group A, Italy's fourth division.
On 23 May 2025, the club formally reverted to its historic name, Varese Football Club, moving away from its previous designation, Città di Varese SRL.
