Lega Pro

Lega Pro (Italian: Lega Italiana Calcio Professionistico) is the third tier of the Italian football league system. It is a semi-professional league, with clubs that are not as wealthy as those in Serie A or Serie B.

The Lega Pro was formed in 1978, when the semi-professional sector of Italian football was abolished. The league was originally called Lega Professionisti Serie C, and it consisted of two divisions: Serie C1 and Serie C2.

In 2008, the league was renamed Lega Italiana Calcio Professionistico. In 2014, the two divisions of the Lega Pro were merged into a single division, called the Lega Pro Divisione Unica.
