'''Potenza Sport Club S.r.l.''' is an [[Italy|Italian]] [[association football|football]] club, based in [[Potenza]], [[Basilicata]]. The current club was founded in 2004 as '''A.S.C. Potenza''', after the merger of the old A.S.C. Potenza (founded in 1983) and '''F.C. Potenza''' (founded in 1919 and previously known as '''Potenza S.C.'''), and changed its name to Potenza S.C. in 2006. It inherits the history of the previous ''Potenza S.C.''. Potenza currently plays in [[Lega Pro Prima Divisione]]. The team's colors are red and blue.
Potenza was promoted in [[Serie C1]] on the 18th of June 2007 by beating Benevento over two games in the [[Serie C2 2006-07]] playoff final.
Potenza also took part in five [[Serie B]] seasons from [[Serie B 1963-64|1963-64]] to [[Serie B 1967-68|1967-68]]. The biggest success of her was finishing 5th in Serie B in 1964-65 season.
In March 2010 Potenza was excluded from the [[Lega Pro Prima Divisione]] with immediate effect after the club was found guilt of matchfixing regarding a league game against [[Salernitana Calcio 1919|Salernitana]] on April 2008.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.repubblica.it/sport/calcio/2010/03/19/news/presunto_illecito_punite_salernitana_e_potenza-2775451/ |publisher=La Repubblica |language=Italian |accessdate=2010-03-19 |date=2010-03-20 |title=Presunto illecito: punite Salernitana e Potenza}}</ref> The verdict was partly reverted on appeal, where it was allowed Potenza to complete the season; however, the club will nevertheless appear as last-placed in the final table, thus forcing the club to play in the [[Lega Pro Seconda Divisione]] for the 2010–11 season.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.lagazzettadelmezzogiorno.it/GdM_dallabasilicata_NOTIZIA_01.php?IDNotizia=323798&IDCategoria=12 |publisher=La Gazzetta del Mezzogiorno |language=Italian |title=Potenza retrocesso ma giocherà le gare |accessdate=2010-04-14 |date=2010-04-02 }}</ref> On July 2010 the club was excluded by the Italian football federation due to financial problems, and successively admitted into the [[Eccellenza]] amateur league.
