Lega Pro Prima Divisione from 2008 Supercoppa di Lega Serie C Serie C1 was the third highest football league and second lowest professional league in Italy. It consisted of 36 teams, divided geographically into two divisions.

History

Before the 1978–79 season, there were only three professional football leagues in Italy, the third being Serie C. The league managing the C was also organizing the semi-professional Serie D. In 1978, it was decided to split the Serie C into Serie C1 (the third highest league) and Serie C2, that included the worst C and the best D clubs. Upon its inception in 1978–79, Serie C1 consisted of two groups of 18 teams, with two promotions and four relegations. During the season, teams only played the other teams in their division, according to the round robin method. The remnants of the Serie D were later, in 1981, moved to the amatorial sector as Campionato Interregionale.

Play-offs were introduced in 1992, together with the 3-victory-points rule. In each division, two teams were promoted to Serie B, and three teams were relegated to Serie C2. In total, the league promoted 4 teams to Serie B and relegated 6 teams to C2. The team finishing first in the regular season was directly promoted to Serie B, while teams placing 2nd to 5th were entered into a play-off semi-final for the chance of gaining the second promotional spot for that particular division. From 2000, the overall champions were decided through the Supercoppa di Serie C. From 2008 the competition was known as Lega Pro Prima Divisione.

The reform decided by the FIGC led to the reunification with the Serie C2 starting from 2014-2015 and with the subsequent rebirth of the third division championship with 60 teams divided into three groups of 20 as Serie C.
