History edit
The club was founded in summer 2009, from the merger between two clubs, both of Serie D:
- A.C. Salò of Salò, founded in 1985, as A.C. Salò Benaco and so renamed since 2001,
- A.C. Feralpi Lonato of Lonato del Garda, founded in 1980, as A.C. Lonato and so renamed since 1985.[1]
On 12 August 2009 the club was admitted to Lega Pro Seconda Divisione[2] in place of not admitted Pistoiese.[3][4]
In the season 2010–11 from Lega Pro Seconda Divisione group A, the club gained promotion to Lega Pro Prima Divisione via the playoffs, for the first time ever.
On 8 April 2023, following a 1–0 home win to Triestina, Feralpisalò mathematically won the Group A title with two games still to go, ensuring themselves a historic first promotion to Serie B.[5]

Feralpisalò's home stadium is Stadio Lino Turina in the city of Salò. The club is however currently playing their home games in the 2023–24 Serie B season at the Stadio Leonardo Garilli of Piacenza, as Stadio Lino Turina does not fulfill the stadium requirements for Serie B games.
