History

A.S. Fidelis Andria (1971–2005)

The club was founded in 1971 as A.S. Fidelis Andria (Associazione Sportiva Fidelis Andria). At that time, the club wore red and yellow, and it was the second club in town.

In 1978, following the collapse of A.S. Andria, the club decided to adopt blue and white, the traditional colours of the town.

With these colours, the club played for years in the Serie B and Serie C1: last playing in Serie B in 1999.

After the 2004–05 season, the club declared bankruptcy.

In summer 2005, the club was refounded as A.S. Andria BAT (Associazione Sportiva Andria BAT). The BAT stood for Barletta-Andria-Trani, as in the province of Barletta-Andria-Trani.

The team played in the Lega Pro Seconda Divisione from the 2005–06 to 2008–09 seasons.

At the end of the 2008–09 Lega Pro Seconda Divisione season, the team was admitted into Lega Pro Prima Divisione after the forced relegation of Avellino in Serie D. At the end of the 2012–13 Lega Pro Prima Divisione season, the club was relegated after the play-offs, but didn't enroll in the Lega Pro Seconda Divisione league.

S.S. Fidelis Andria 1928 (2013–2018)
