Football Club Clivense is an Italian football club based in Chievo, in Verona. It was founded on 13 August 2021, by Sergio Pellissier, former captain of the defunct football club A.C. ChievoVerona. It currently competes in Serie D, the fourth level of Italian football.[1]
After A.C. ChievoVerona was barred from registering to Serie B due to financial reasons in 2021,[2] former captain Sergio Pellissier decided to found a new club himself, originally named FC Chievo 2021.
The club was renamed to FC Clivense following a legal warning from A.C. ChievoVerona.[3] FC Clivense was first admitted to Terza Categoria, the lowest level of amateur football in Italy. Where they won the title and both the league cups.
In the 2022 summer, the team was able to climb up to Eccellenza acquiring the sporting title of neighbours San Martino Speme and winning promotion to the 2023/24 Serie D as champions of their group.
FC Clivense play their home matches at the 1,500-capacity Stadio Comunale, known for sponsorship reasons as Phoenix Arena located in the municipality of San Martino Buon Albergo.
