History
The club was formed in 1998, after the fusion of former Serie C2 teams Albinese Calcio and S.C. Leffe, respectively from Albino and Leffe, two neighbouring cities. After having been promoted to Italian Serie C1, in 2003 AlbinoLeffe, under coach Elio Gustinetti, gained a surprising triumph for the division play-off final, beating Pisa Calcio, which gave them the right to play Serie B.
The team plays its home matches at the Atleti Azzurri d'Italia, in Bergamo, which is the capital city of the AlbinoLeffe's referring province. It does so because of the tiny capacity of the 2,260-seats Leffe city stadium, where AlbinoLeffe played its matches for divisions lower than Serie B. Even though AlbinoLeffe was considered to be an outsider for the Serie B, which historically includes many several titled clubs, the Lombardian team concluded both its two last seasons avoiding the relegation. Albinoleffe ended 2005/2006 in eighteenth place after a great season's second half, consequently to the appointment of experienced Emiliano Mondonico as new head coach, and again maintained a place in the 2006/2007 Serie B winning the relegation playoffs against Avellino (2-0, 2-3). The 2006/2007 Serie B campaign is the third consecutive for the small Lombardian team.
