Cittadella
Associazione Sportiva Cittadella is an Italy football (soccer) club, based in Cittadella, Veneto. Cittadella was founded in 1973, after the merger of
U.S. Cittadellense and
A.S. Olympia. After defeating U.S. Cremonese in the Serie C1 2007-08, they won promotion to Serie B having appeared only twice before in that division; from 1999 until 2001.
During their first stay in Serie B, the club played in Stadio Euganeo in Padua and, in an attempt to expand the fanbase, was renamed
A.S. Cittadella Padova, being Padua (Padova in Italian language) the capital city of Cittadella's referring province.
For the Serie B 2008-09, there are projects to boost the capacity of the Stadio Tombolato to 7,500, in order to let the club play in their home town, although it will need special dispensation from the FIGC, that requires a stadium of at least 10,000 seats for Serie B. The expansion is scheduled to be completed by the end of October 2008. In the meantime, Cittadella will play in Stadio Omobono Tenni in Treviso, about 40km away.
