Roman Football Club was an Italian football club from the Parioli area of Rome, originally founded in 1903. The club is most noted for competing in the early Italian Football Championship competitions, before in 1927 becoming one of three Rome based clubs merging to form AS Roma,cite news|url=http://www.asroma.it/DocList.aspx?Categoria=42|publisher=ASRoma.it|title=La Storia|date=24 June 2007] to whom they lent their colours.

History

The earliest origins of the club was from 1901 when Foot-Ball Club Roma was founded as a sports club, they did not in fact open their association football section until 1903 however with a slight name change. ["La squadra del mio cuore "La Roma", allegato a "Corriere dello Sport - Stadio" - Modena, Franco Cosimo Panini Editore 1995 p.19]

During the earliest days of the Italian Football Championship, only Northern Italian football clubs gained entry into the league so Roman had to wait until 1912–13 to make their championship debut and finished mid-table in the Lazio group. The following season the club played well, but did not progress passed the Lazio group stage as SS Lazio themselves were more dominant.

Their third season in the championship was more successful, they finished top of the Lazio group earning progression to the Central and Southern finals; even beating rivals SS Lazio 5–2. However, before the competition could progress any further, it was called off because of World War One.

Post-War

Initially after the war Roman were weaker, they finished bottom of their group in the 1919–20 return season as they had to forfeit several games. Similar results were returned in the following season. During the Italian Football Federation splinter of 1921, Roman participated in the CCI variation rather than the FIGC one.

When the leagues merged back together, Roman performed poorly and were relegated down to "I Divisione" (now known as Serie B). Roman could not gain promotion after several seasons of trying, and in 1927 they merged with Alba-Audace and Fortitudo to form AS Roma.
