In 1930 a new club, the S. S. Abruzzo launched. However, since there was an oversupply of players, one made unceremoniously two teams: SS Abruzzo A and S. S. Abruzzo B. Both teams took 1931/32 in the championship of the second regional division part. S. S. Abruzzo B was finally in front of the clubs from L' Aquila and Chieti champion. 1932, the club changed its name and became now as AS Pescara. Since the success failed to materialize, even this club was disbanded quickly.
