Ancona-Matelica, commonly referred to as Ancona, is an Italian football club based in Ancona, Marche.

The club is widely considered to be the heir of defunct former Serie A club Ancona, with whom it shares its official historical logo.

History[]

The club was founded in 2021 as the merger of Serie C club S.S. Matelica Calcio 1921, from the city of Matelica, with Ancona-based Eccellenza club Anconitana.[2]

As part of the merger, all logos and naming rights of Matelica were given away to Prima Categoria club G.S. Corrado Fabiani Matelica, formally owned by chairman Mauro Canil's wife and which is now to be legally considered the heir of Matelica itself,[3] whereas, as part of the merger, Anconitana brought the original footballing logo, as well as the rights to use the Stadio del Conero in the city of Ancona.[4] The new club's board will be the same as Matelica's, with Mauro Canil as majority shareholder and chairman, whereas Anconitana's original owner Stefano Marconi will be linked to Ancona-Matelica as the club's official main sponsor for the following five years.[4]

The club boards aims to have the official name changed to just "Ancona" by 2022, pending approval by the Italian Football Federation.[2]
