A.S.D. Asti, known as Asti and formerly A.S.D. Alfieri Asti or A.S.D. Colline Alfieri Don Bosco (Colline Alfieri D.B. or just Colline Alfieri[nb 1]),[2][3] is an Italian football club based in Asti, Piedmont. FIGC registration number of the club is 63,519.[4] The club spent entire history in the Piedmont - Aosta Valley divisions of the Lega Nazionale Dilettanti.

History

The club was founded in 1975. The club was based in another town, Celle Enomondo, and known as several other names:[5] ILSA C.D.C.,[6] U.S. Cellese,[6] A.S. Celle Vaglierano[6] and A.C. Celle General Cab.[7][nb 2]

The club was promoted to Prima Categoria for the first time in 2009,[5][6] as the winner of Group P of Seconda Categoria Piedmont - Aosta Valley. Group P was composed of clubs entirely from the Province of Asti.[9]

In 2010 the club was promoted to Promozione Piedmont - Aosta Valley division,[6][non-primary source needed] despite finishing fifth in the Prima Categoria Piedmont - Aosta Valley Group F.[10] At the same time the club was renamed to A.S.D. Colline Alfieri Don Bosco,[nb 1] as a collaboration with another sport club A.S.D. Don Bosco Asti.[6][non-primary source needed][nb 3] The club also relocated its registered office to San Damiano d'Asti at the same time.[7]

A.S.D. Colline Alfieri Don Bosco promoted to Eccellenza Piedmont-Aosta Valley from Promozione Piedmont - Aosta Valley in 2016 as a repêchage.[5][12][13] The club also played in the Eccellenza division in the 2013–14 and 2014–15 seasons. The club hired Mario Benzi as head coach in November 2014.[14]

The club was renamed to "A.S.D. Alfieri Asti" in 2017.[15][16] At the same time, the major club of the city, Asti Calcio F.C. (ex-A.C.D. Asti) folded.[17] The club also promoted youth team coach Davide Montanarelli as the head coach of the first team.[18]

The club finished as the joint-runner-up of the Group B of Eccellenza Piedmont - Aosta Valley division in the 2018–19 season.[19] However, the club lost the promotion play-off against the other runner-up, Canelli S.D.S.[20] Both teams also from the province of Asti and that match was the fifth provincial derby of the teams in that season.[21]

In 2019, Alfieri Asti was renamed again, dropping the word "Alfieri".[11][22]

Famous players

Stadiums

The club uses the Stadio Comunale di Asti as home stadium. The stadium is also known as Stadio Censin Bosia,[24][25] named after footballer Vincenzo Bosia [it]. A.S.D. Asti shared the stadium with two other clubs of the city: San Domenico Savio and Nuova Sca,[26] and in the past, Asti Calcio F.C.

The club also used Campo Sandro Salvadore[nb 4][24][29] as well as Campo Comunale di Celle Enomondo, on 9 Strada Pozzo, Celle Enomondo as football fields.[24][30][31]

In 2015–16 season, the first team of the club had used the football field in Moncalvo, but declared its headquarters in Asti.[32]
