Associazione Polisportiva Dilettantistica Comunale Chions, or simply APC Chions, is an Italian association football club located in Chions, Friuli-Venezia Giulia. It currently plays in Eccellenza.
History
APC Chions was born on a day in June 1972. In the Zaghis room, in the presence of the Mayor of the time Olga Verardo and eighty members, the power of an idea becomes reality. The notarial deed of incorporation registers as founding members Gerardo Bertolo, Ermanno Bianchi, Luciano Bressan, Sergio Cusin, Giorgio Nardo and Mario Scacco. The first president of the new team is Ermanno Bianchi. Over time, Giuseppe Bressan, Cesare Santin, Carlo Gobat, Luciano Bressan, Bruno Lena, Primo Beraldo, Renato Bressan and Mauro Bressan follow one another. The latter is the longest in our history, from 2004 to today. After him his father Luciano Bressan, president for 13 seasons and Luciano's brother, Giuseppe, at the helm of the team for eight seasons.[1]
In the early years, Chions played in the Pravisdomini field, from 1972 to 1974. With the following season it returned to Chions in the oratory field built together with the changing rooms and remained here until the 1984–85 season. From 1985–86 he finally found its home, the municipal field of via Garibaldi. In the spring of 1984 just that field, now ready, was weeded by unknown persons for half the surface. It therefore becomes necessary to remove the earth, bring it back and wait until the spring of the following year. It is the first of May 1985 when it is finally inaugurated with the friendly match between Chions and SV Feldkirchen (Carinthia). The construction of the structure took place with the mayor Aldo Presot while with the Mayor Loris Vian, on 5 October 1997, the new grandstand was inaugurated. On 30 August 2008, with Mayor Fabio Santin, the municipal stadium is dedicated to the young "Francesco Tesolin", who died prematurely at the age of twenty-two a few months earlier.[2]
Chions plays 7 seasons in Terza Categoria (from 1972–73 to 1978–79). Promoted to Seconda Categoria, with 30 points and coaches, the pair Travani-Venier, for 3 championships remains (from 1979–80 to 1982–83). Promoted to Prima Categoria, with 42 points and Fiorin coach, it stays there for 3 seasons (from 1983–84 to 1985–86). Relegated to Seconda Categoria with 22 points, it plays there for 6 championships (from 1986–87 to 1992–93). Returns to Prima Categoria and stays there for 5 seasons (from 1993–94 to 1997–98). It reaches the Promozione, with 59 points and coach Gobat, in the spring of 1998 and plays 12 championships continuously in this category. In this period it risks relegation only once, in the 2001–02 season with 29 points, but is saved by coach Della Pietra. In 2004–05 it arrives 4th, with 50 points and still coach Della Pietra, but plays the playoffs with little luck. It still comes 4th with 51 points in 2009–10 with the coach Boccalon and again loses the playoffs. However, it is fished out and can participate in the 2010–11 championship of Eccellenza conducted by the same coach. Unfortunately, it arrives third from last and relegates back to Promozione. In the following season 2011–12, led by Vittore, it ranks second with 63 points and for the third time he loses the playoffs.[3]
Finally, the 2012–2013 season brings the long-awaited second leap to Eccellenza. Still under the orders of Pino Vittore, the team plays a top promotion championship, arousing enormous enthusiasm among the sportsmen and the noisy, but very correct, young "ultras", admired in all the fields of the region. The final table sees it first with 73 points (the result of 23 wins, 4 draws and 3 defeats), 6 points behind
In 2013–2014 Eccellenza season, with confirmed coach Pino Vittore, sees the team always among the protagonists, with the final conquest of an honorable 6th place. However, there is a real gem: on 6 January 2014, Chions, on the mud of
The 2017–2018 Eccellenza season is a triumphal ride for the team, which is practically in the lead for the whole season. The coach Alessandro Lenisa surpasses himself and knows how to obtain extraordinary results from the group. The championship, and therefore the promotion to
