History

edit

The club was founded in 1907 asSocietà Sportiva Albaand was owned for its known existence by a Roman named Umberto Farneti. Farneti owned some land in the Flaminio area of Rome, this is where the club would play and consider their home.

During the earliest days of theItalian Football Championship,onlyNorthern Italianfootball clubs gained entry into the league so Alba had to wait until1912–13to make their championship debut. After qualifying for the Lazio section of the championship, Alba were forced toforfeittheir fixtures.

At the end of1925–26 season,the club was forced by the Fascist Regime to absorb another Roman club,Audace Roma,but retained its colors. After only one season, Alba-Audace was merged withRoman F.C.andFortitudo-Pro Roma S.G.S.to formAS Roma.

The club briefly reformed in 1945 and, after merging withTrastevere Roma,took part to the1946–47 Serie Bseason asAlba Trasteverebefore disbanding in late 1960s.
