Alcione Milano Società Sportiva Dilettantistica, commonly known as Alcione Milano or just Alcione, is an Italian association football club from Milan, Lombardy. They currently play in the Serie D league.
History
The club was founded in 1952.[2] As one of the historical amateur clubs of Milan with a state-of-the-art youth system, Alcione was chaired throughout the years by renowned people such as former Inter Milan chairman Ernesto Pellegrini and former Milan mayor Carlo Tognoli.[2]
Alcione were promoted to Serie D in 2021 for their first time, and two years later, after having finished the 2022–23 Serie D regular season in second place behind Lumezzane, they won the promotion playoff tournament under the guidance of head coach Giovanni Cusatis.
By the end of the season, Alcione was announced to be at the top of the table of potential teams to be admitted in the 2023–24 Serie C in case of a vacancy, and that they would be playing their home games at the Arena Civica in case.[3] However, the request of readmission was eventually rejected by the Serie C committee due to the Arena Civica not been deemed as suitable for league games.[4]
