Torre Annunziata ,Campania . It currently plays inSerie D . Its colors are all-white .Founded in 1908 as Unione Sportiva Savoia, after the homonymous Italian royal family at the time, the team played the Italian
Serie A league finals in 1924, losing toGenoa C.F.C. . Since then, Savoia played lower leagues until 1945, when the team promoted toSerie B under the new denomination Unione Sportiva Torrese, and played the second-highest Italian league until 1948, when a thirtheenth place led to relegation for the Campanian side. Next years saw Savoia, which switched to the denomination of Associazione Calcio Savoia 1908 in 1955, relegating down to Serie D and even Promozione. Two consecutive promotions, in 1964 and 1965, led Savoia to Serie C, where however played just for one season.In 1978/1979, Savoia was admitted by the
Italian Football Federation to the new-born Serie C2 division, playing at that level until 1981/1982. Savoia returned to play Serie C2 eight years later, and promoted to Serie C1 ih 1994/1995 after playoffs. In 1998/1999, under coachOsvaldo Jaconi , popular for his successful years at Castel di Sangro, Savoia qualified for the Serie B promotion playoffs. In the playoff semifinals, Savoia sensationally eliminated Palermo, winning both the matches, and defeating 2-0 Juve Stabia in a final, and also a derby between two rival teams. In 1999/2000, despite a fairly good start, Savoia quickly entered into crisis, and Jaconi was fired at the 14th day, being replaced byFranco Varrella , who however was unable to save the team from relegation. After an unenthusiastic Serie C1 campaign in 2000/2001, in the next summer Savoia was cancelled because of financial troubles. On those days, anEccellenza club fromNaples , Internapoli, accepted to relocate to Torre Annunziata and switched its denomination to Intersavoia, quickly obtaining promotion to Serie D. Following that promotion, the team assumed the current denomination; Savoia plays Serie D since then.Honours
