History

The U.S. Lecce Lecce was as SC (official Sporting Club Lecce) founded on 15 March 1908, the departments football, athletics and cycling. First, the club colors were black and white. 1927 merged the club with Juventus Lecce Lecce and Gladiator to Unione Sportiva Lecce new club, the new club's colors were black and red. Only with the first promotion to Serie B during the Hungarian Ferenc Plemich coach in 1929, the club colors were changed to force up today yellow and red.

In 1966 the club moved from the Stadio Carlo Pranzo into larger Stadio Via del Mare, in which it does to this day.

In the season 1974/75 presented the then goalkeeper Emmerich Tarabocchia a force to this day record: with 1791 minutes played without conceding he is the goalkeeper, who was in the first three leagues the longest without conceding a goal.

In the 1984/85 season the club for the first time rose to the Serie A. Then the U.S. Lecce has established itself as a regular series - A-subscriber. This was somewhat surprising because the team still lost half a year in a fatal traffic accident before the rise with Michele Lo Russo and Ciro Pezzella two performers. 1989 reached the club in ninth place the previous best Serie A placement in their history.

Since the 1990s, the club was more of a lift team and commuted almost on an annual basis between Serie A and Serie B. 2004/ 05 could again celebrate the ninth place in the table in the top division in the following season, however, it rose again. 2007/ 08, however, succeeded in re- ascent, but it managed in the 2008 /09 season only the 20th place in the table and therefore had to return to the series as 2009/10 were abolished by the first table space again the promotion to Serie A, but one two years later rose again in the B series. In August 2012, it was announced that the U.S. Lecce had to join the in the Lega Pro Prima Divisione, the third- highest division due to the then- manipulation scandal.

In the 2012/13 season, the team reached second place and thus qualified for the playoffs for promotion to the Serie B. In the first round of the playoffs Lecce ran against Virtus Entella. The first match between Lecce and Virtus Entellla ended 1-1, with a 2-1 in the return match Lecce reached the final round of the playoffs. There, they met Carpi FC. The games ended 1-0 and 1-1 in favor of Carpi FC. Lecce thus missed the direct resurgence. This defeat sparked great unrest: The fans stormed onto the field and did great damage, but were stopped by folders as if they were trying to get into the cabins of the players. They also burned police cars that were outside of the stadium.
