FC Südtirol The flagship of Südtirol and the northernmost professional team in Italy.
The club was started in 1974 as SV Milland, after a district of the town of Brixen. In 1995 some investors took over the club, with the idea of becoming professional and advancing to the Serie C. Their initial negotiations with FC Bozen (AC Bolzano) failed, and SV Milland was their second choice.
Although the club is based in Brixen, matches are played in Bozen, since it has a stadium that meets minimum requirements.
As Fc Südtirol, the club rapidly improved and achieved the desired professional status by promotion to the Serie C2 in 2000. After a difficult first year, the next three years saw the squad advance to promotion playoffs C1, in 2004 losing in the finals.
