History Before the 1978–79 season, there were only three professional football leagues in Italy, the third being Serie C. The league menaging the C was also organizing the semi-professional Serie D. In 1978, it was decided to split the Serie C into Serie C1 (the third highest league) and Serie C2, moving the remnants of the Serie D to the amatorial sector as Campionato Interregionale. Upon its inception in 1978–79, Serie C2 consisted of four groups of 18 teams, with two promotions and three relegations. During the season, teams only played the other teams in their division, according to the round robin method. The groups were reduced to three from the start of the 1991–92 season. More notably, play-offs were introduced for the second promotion and the penultimate and the third relegation, together with the 3-victory-points rule. After the 2007–08 season, the league wa ...
