Associazione Sportiva Dilettantistica Nocerina 1910 is an Italian association football club, based in Nocera Inferiore, Campania.
The club was founded in 1910.
In 1978 Nocerina had challenged Juventus (lost 1–3 in Stadio Comunale, now Stadio Olimpico di Torino).
The most important match in the team history was in 1996, when Nocerina challenged the European and Intercontinental Champions of Juventus, in a game valid for the Coppa Italia. After the 0–0 result in the first leg, Juventus won the second leg for 2–1 at the Delle Alpi of Turin, but Nocerina was on 0–1 at the end of the first half.
Nocerina in the season 2010–11, from Lega Pro Prima Divisione was promoted to Serie B. So returning to it after 32 years for the third time, following the two seasons played in 1948 and in 1979. Nocerina was relegated at the end of the season after finishing 20th in the Serie B table and returned to the Lega Pro Prima Divisione.
On 10 November 2013, Nocerina played a match at local rivals Salernitana, a derby widely publicized in the Italian media as the "derby of shame". Immediately prior to the match, a number of Nocerina players allegedly received death threats from a group of thirty Nocerina supporters known as "Ultras", after those supporters were barred from the match by local authorities. The Nocerina players were reticent to take the pitch after hearing of the death threats, and kickoff was delayed 40 minutes until the players were finally convinced to begin the match.
Within the first two minutes of the match, Nocerina utilized all three of their allowed substitutions, due to injury. Five additional Nocerina players subsequently went off injured, leaving Nocerina with only six men on the pitch. The match was finally abandoned after 21 minutes.
A subsequent investigation by the Italian Football Federation (FIGC) into the events surrounding the match was conducted. The investigation resulted in Nocerina being found guilty of sporting fraud, as the injuries allegedly suffered by the eight Nocerina players were actually faked, due to the players' unwillingness to participate in the Salernitana match.
