Carpi Football Club 1909 are an Italian football club located in Carpi, Emilia-Romagna. They currently play in Serie D. Their colours are white and red.

History

The club was founded in the summer of 1909 by local student Adolfo Fanconi as "Jucunditas" (Latin for "gaiety"), and changed their denomination to "Associazione Calcio Carpi" a few years later.cite web|url=http://www.carpifc1909.it/storia.php|publisher=Carpi FC 1909|title=La storia|language=Italian|accessdate=2007-10-27] Starting from the 1930s, they mostly played between Serie C and Serie D. Carpi achieved their best result in 1997, a third place under coach Luigi De Canio which allowed them to play the Serie B promotion playoffs then lost to Monza. The club was cancelled in 2000 following relegation to Serie D and subsequent bankruptcy; a new club, named "Calcio Carpi", was therefore admitted to "Eccellenza". The club assumed the current denomination in 2002, following promotion to Serie D, where they currently play.
