History

The club was established by three football fans from Varese – Stefano Pertile,[3] Stefano Amirante[4] and Cesare Bonazzi[5] – on 26 July 2019, with the purpose to "keep alive" Varese's name in the Italian football league system, following the dissolution of Varese Calcio.[6][7] As a matter of fact, Città di Varese adopted the historic colours of the football club founded in 1910 (red and white), but never claimed openly any inheritance of the ceased team.

In its maiden season, coached by Stefano Iori,[8] Città di Varese won the 2019–20 Terza Categoria Varese Group B, the lowest tier of the Italian football pyramid.[9][10] On 16 July 2020,[11] prior to the 2020–21 season, the club merged with Busto 81 (a club based in Busto Arsizio, no longer interested in pursuing the football activity) and obtained the right to participate in the Serie D Group A, Italy's fourth division.[10]
