Foggia Calcio readmitted to Serie C to replace Ternana
The Federal Council of the Italian Football Federation officially confirmed that Foggia Calcio is readmitted to Serie C, taking the vacant spot left by the revoked affiliation of Ternana. The decision finalises the 60‑team roster for the upcoming season and allows the league to set the groups and calendar.
Club president Gennaro Casillo hailed the ruling, stating “La riammissione in Serie C è il giusto premio dopo quello che abbiamo vissuto negli ultimi tre mesi”. He said the club will build a multi‑year project, add players familiar with the club, and noted that the market is delayed but will bring in profiles such as Todisco and Panico. Casillo also referenced the new salary‑cap rules, arguing that balance, not spending, will determine success. The readmission ends a period of administration and relegation that the club endured after a disastrous previous campaign.
