A link to the club’s history
The football club’s history is also connected to a specific place: after ASD Plodio was promoted to the Seconda Categoria in 1998, the Campo Comunale was adapted so that the club could play its home matches there. The adaptation of the pitch therefore marks a historic step in the club’s development.
