Associazione Sportiva Dilettantistica Gallaratese is an Italian football club based in the City of Gallarate (Varese), Lombardy.

Founded in 1909 as a section of the Gallaratese Gymnastic Society (active since 1876), it was subsequently transformed into an independent club, incurring several dissolutions and re-foundations. In 2018, it sold its sporting title to the Unione Sportiva Crennese, which changed its name to Crennese Gallaratese.

The club numbers three participations in the Serie B (second national series) in its history, where the best result is the eighth place in group A of the 1946–1947 season.

History

The beginnings

The Gallaratese Gymnastics Society officially began practicing football in 1909, with the invitation from companies of the caliber of Inter and Ausonia. In 1912 the team signed up for its first championship (Terza Categoria) and until 1927, played in the regional leagues in Lombardy.

In 1927, it obtained the promotion in the Second Division. In 1928, it was admitted to the First Division. In the thirties and forties, it mainly played in Serie C and at the end of the Second World War it was officially admitted (due to enlargement of the championship) in Serie B. In Serie B it played for three consecutive seasons, returning to C at the end of the 1947 season 48 for championship reform (reduction of Serie B rounds from three to one).

From 1951 to 1952, it had a disastrous season and was relegated to the fourth series. In this series (which will change its name several times, from the IV series to Serie D to Interregionale to C.N.D.) it remained for about twenty years, then in 1972 relegated to the regional championships. In the 70s, 80s and early 90s, the team played above all in the Lombard championships with occasional participation in the Serie D.

The transformation to Busto Arsizio

At the end of the 1994–1995 season, the Gallaratese was promoted to Serie C2. However, when the championship is over, the company opts to move to Busto Arsizio to reveal the sporting tradition of the dissolved Pro Patria et Libertate. The reason is therefore modified in Pro Patria Gallaratese Gallarate Busto, maintaining the FIGC registration number of Gallaratese (valid for access to the fourth series). This decision leaves the city of Gallarate without its largest football team.

Re-foundation and dissolution

After three years of complete inactivity, the company was re-founded under the name of Società Ginnastica Gallaratese Amateur Sports Association and entered in the championship of Third Category.

The quality and the fidelity of the organic allowed the "new Gallaratese" to go up again in Eccellenza within five seasons. The biancoblù remained stable in the highest category of regional football until 2007–2008, when they lost the play-off against {{:IT:Football Club Luino Calcio|Luino}}.

After two consecutive seasons in Promozione, in 2010 Gallaratese obtained the acquisition of the sport's title of Saronno, valid for access to Serie D 2010–2011. The experience in the first amateur division was however ephemeral, In 2012, the team retreated into Eccellenza, which he renounced, opting to enroll in supernumerary to Promozione Lombardia.

In the meantime, the company was experiencing growing economic difficulties: at the end of the 2012–2013 championship, they became unsustainable forcing the company to cease operations just 15 years after the re-foundation.

The second transformation

After two years of total inactivity, in 2015 a consortium of members headed by Ciro Intermite, Giovanni Meneguz and Orlando Balconi treated with the Solbia Sommese the transfer of the sports title (valid for enrolling in the championship of Eccellenza). However, the attempt was not successful, as the selling company finally decided to accept the offer of A.S.D. Matteotti, who used the title to re-found the Saronno (in turn inactive for several years).

To achieve the foundation of the biancoblù club, it was necessary to wait another year: in the summer of 2016 the same consortium mentioned above decided to act on its own and founded the Gallarate Amateur Sports Association from scratch, enrolling it in the Varese group of the Third Category 2016–2017 championship.

The "new Gallaratese", driven on the bench by Pierluigi Contaldo, is hoisted from the first days at the top of the group's classification, finally managing to win it and guarantee the promotion in Second Category with a few days before the end of the championship.

The civic coat of arms of Gallarate

The historical coat of arms of the Gallaratese is a Samnite shield with alternating white and blue horizontal bands.

From this basic structure, different design versions have been developed over the years: sometimes the shield has a golden border, while in some cases the company name is written in full (and supplemented by the year of foundation) and in others abbreviated in the acronym SGG. The version in use between 1998 and 2013 is more elaborate: the white-blue banded shield overlaps with the corporate name (written in large letters, so as to overflow from the shield) and the design of a soccer ball in motion (emphasized by a sinuous trail that connects with the letters of the name itself). This version is sometimes in solid blue, sometimes with details in red and black.

The coat of arms of the city of Gallarate (ancile truncated silver and red to the two roosters of one in the other, with outward ornamentation from the city), which in Third millennium has assumed a predominant role, being applied to the uniforms in place of other social emblems.

Facilities

Stadium

At the time of its foundation, in 1909, the Gallaratese football section adopted the Stadio Alessandro Maino as its internal field (named after the original politician of the city), located at the railway station, in the outbuildings of the sports club. The plant has a covered central grandstand on the west side and exposed steps on the north and east sides: being used only for football, the stands directly overlook the edges of the playing field.

This plant, poorly remodeled over the decades, has gradually revealed considerable obsolescence, so that in the two-year period 1994–1995 the team moved to the more modern Atleti Azzurri stadium in Italy, on the northern outskirts of the city. This structure, more modern, but less spacious than the historical arena (since it has a single covered grandstand on the west side), is sports-oriented: it includes an athletics track and is also used for practice del rugby.

In 1998, when the club was refounded, the "Maino" returned to fill the role of the internal field, being again abandoned in favor of the "Atleti Azzurri d'Italia" in 2010 following the repechage of the biancoblù in Serie D.

The Gallaratese then returned to the "Maino" following the second foundation, in the 2016–2017 season, only to have to change the facility again the following year, not having found the agreement for the management of the historic city stadium: in 2017– 2018 it, therefore, disputes the internal tenders to Casorate Sempione
