History

Before the 1978–79 season, there were only three professional football leagues in Italy, the third being Serie C. The league menaging 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, a new tournament including the worst C and the best D clubs. Upon its inception in 1978–79, Serie C2 consisted of four groups of 18 teams, with two promotions and three 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, with the elimination of the semi-professional sector.

The groups were reduced to three from the start of the 1991–92 season. More notably, play-offs were introduced for the second promotion and the penultimate and the third relegation, together with the 3-victory-points rule. After the 2007–08 season, the league was known as Lega Pro Seconda Divisione.

In the 2011–12 season, there were 41 teams divided geographically into two divisions of 20 and 21. Group A covered northern Italy, Group B central and southern Italy. The following year it consisted of 36 teams.

The reform, already decided by the FIGC, lead to the reunification with the Serie C1 starting from 2014–15 and with the subsequent rebirth of the third tier championship with 60 teams divided into three groups of 20 as Serie C.
