Società Sportiva Dilettantistica Jesina Calcio is an Italian association football club located in Jesi, Marche. It currently plays in Serie D.

History

Foundation

Unione Sportiva Jesina was born on 15 March 1927 by the merger of Juventus Aesina and SS Mazzini Jesi. The first official match was played against

Udinese and Padova
.

From 1945 to 1978

After the war the club change his name to Società Sportiva Jesina. Except for the 1953–1954 season, Jesina established as a Fourth Tier team with sporadics appearances to Serie C. It was not until the end of 1975–1976 season the team was relegated to the regional championship.

The Golden Era (1978–1991)

Then Leopoldo Latini, a local businessman, takes over the club. In few years promotion to Serie D was achieved and 1981 the team regained professional status winning a promotion playoff in

Riccione
. Serie C was recently split into two divisions and Jesina performed well in Serie C2 until 1983–1984 when they were crowned champions and were promoted to Serie C1. Jesina were one of the best 72 teams in the country. The fairytale ended after only 1 year, the team were relegated after losing their head-to-head matches against
Virescit Boccaleone. In those days, Luca Marchegiani wore the biancorossi shirt and a young Roberto Baggio
was an opponent. At the end of the 1990–1991 season, the team lose after penalty kicks a relegation playout and financial crisis sends Jesina another division down returning to the regional championship.

From 1991 to Our Days

It takes 3 years before Jesina wins the new

Piano San Lazzaro
, and getting a reprieve to Serie D after losing in the national playoffs finals.

The first season back in Serie D was great with the club leading the table for many days in the first part of the championship.

The derby against their fierce rivals returns in the 2011–2012 season for the first time since the glorious Serie C1 year. Jesina established in Serie D in the last years, and since Serie C2 got disbanded, the club plays in the fourth tier without promotions targets but staying away from the relegation danger with a politics of giving much game time as possible to local young guys. In 2017 the club celebrates his 90th birthday with renovated hopes for a future promotion to third tier Serie C.
