unusual facts about Serie C1



A.C. Palazzolo

Between 1989 (when it acquired the sports title of G.S. Telgate of Telgate) and 1996 the club played a total of 4 seasons in Serie C1 and 3 in Serie C2.

Foggia Calcio

Playing football in Italy's fourth tier was far less glamorous than the Zemanlandia days but the club set itself on the long road back in 2002–03, when led by coach Pasquale Marino and key players Roberto De Zerbi and Michele Pazienza, they were promoted back to Serie C1.

Ronald Hoop

After starting his career with amateur side BVC in De Bilt, Utrecht, Hoop spent his career playing with several clubs throughout Europe, including a one-year spell at then Serie B side Palermo, becoming the first foreigner being signed by the rosanero in over 20 years, but failing to impress with the Sicilian side who ultimately dropped to Serie C1 that season.
