A.S.D. Tre Pini Matese


A.S.D. Tre Pini Matese is an Italian association football club based in Sepicciano, Piedimonte Matese, Caserta, Campania. The club currently plays in Eccellenza Molise.

History

The club was founded in 2012 as A.S.D. Tre Pini Sporting Matese. Tre Pini Sporting Matese was admitted to Prima Categoria for the 2012–13 season, winning promotion to Promozione Molise after finishing as champions and recording a total of 76 points from 30 games.
During the 2015–16 season, Tre Pini finished as runners-up to Polisportiva Gioventù Calcio Dauna in Eccellenza Molise, though there was some controversy as to whether Dauna and another club, U.S. Venafro had become embroiled in a corruption scandal. As a result of this, several representatives of Gioventù Dauna received fines ranging from €5,000 to €10,000, while the other accused club, Venafro were fined a sum of €4,000. This meant that Dauna's first-placed finish was awarded to second-placed Tre Pini, with the accused club remaining in Eccellenza for the following campaign. Consequently, Tre Pini was temporarily admitted to Serie D for the 2016–17 season. A federal tribunal found Dauna innocent of any wrongdoing and their title and promotion was restored.
