AZ Picerno
AZ Picerno, or simply Picerno, is an Italian association football club, representing the town of Picerno, Province of Potenza, Basilicata.
It will play in Serie C in 2019–20 for the first time in its history, after having been crowned Serie D champions in 2018–19.History
Founded in 1973, AZ Picerno mostly languished as an amateur club in the minor league of the Italian football system throughout its history.
The club turned its fortunes thanks to Donato Curcio, a local native who emigrated to the United States in the 1950s who first donated 1 million Euro for a new football stadium in Picerno, and then starting investing directly into the club in the later years.
On 18 April 2019, Picerno mathematically ensured their first historical promotion to Serie C after a 0–0 draw with Taranto guaranteed them first place in the Round H of Serie D.
Due to restrictions to the local football stadium "Comunale Donato Curcio", which is unsuitable for professional league games, Picerno will play its home games in the 2019–20 Serie C season at the Stadio Alfredo Viviani in neighbouring Potenza.Current squad
