Foundation
The club was founded in 1940, [2] at which time it was known as Polisportiva Martorano.[2][3]
Serie D
In the 2012–13 season, the team was promoted for the first time, from Eccellenza Emilia-Romagna Group B to 2013–14 Serie D Group D, as Romagna Centro.[2][4] The club was also compared to Chievo,[4] which was a second team behind Hellas Verona, but promoted to Serie A.[citation needed]
R.C. Cesena
In July 2018, after the bankruptcy of the main football team of the city, AC Cesena, a group of local businessmen acquired Romagna Centro and proposed to rename it to Cesena FC, to act as a phoenix club. However, the image rights of AC Cesena were acquired later.[5] The club played a friendly match against Romanian club Universitatea Cluj in 2018–19 pre-season.[6] In July 2018, Romagna Centro announced that the youth sector would train with former AC Cesena players.[7] However, the club was later known as RC Cesena, and was assigned to Group F of 2018–19 Serie D.[8]
After instantly winning promotion to Serie D, the club was renamed Cesena Football Club.[citation needed]
In the 2019–20 season the club is competing in the Serie C's Girone B.[citation needed]
As Romagna Centro, the team's colours were lightblue and white.[2][9][10]
The current shirt colors are black and white, so that the nickname of the club is "bianconeri"[citation needed]
