Siracusa Calcio S.r.l. is an Italian football club based in Syracuse, Sicily. (Italian: Siracusa, Sicilia) The club currently plays in Lega Pro, the third-tier of Italy.
Sport Club Siracusa relocated to Syracuse from Palazzolo Acreide in 2013 to replace A.S.D. Città di Siracusa, an illegitimate phoenix club of U.S. Siracusa which itself was another illegitimate phoenix club of A.S. Siracusa. U.S. Siracusa and S.C. Siracusa had a derby in youth football in 2013–14 season. After the season S.C. Siracusa was renamed A.S.D. Città di Siracusa, and changed to its current name Siracusa Calcio S.r.l. circa 2016.
The holder of the assets of now defunct A.S. Siracusa, Amici del Siracusa, denied S.C. Siracusa the use of the logo of A.S. Siracusa in the 2013–14 season; in the 2014–15 season no club submitted a bid to Amici del Siracusa for the temporary rights to use the logo either.
The legal address is 120 via Monte Grappa, Syracuse.
The club located in Palazzolo Acreide, Sicily was founded in 1954 as Associazione Calcio Palazzolo Associazione Sportiva Dilettantistica.
In July 2006, Xiridia 96 Floridia was merged with Palazzolo.
Palazzolo has taken part in Serie D 3 times. The first participation in Serie D was in the 2007–08 season (as 2007 promotion playoffs winner) in which it was relegated the next year.
The club was promoted to the Serie D after winning the group B of Eccellenza Sicily in the 2010–11 season, but was relegated back in Eccellenza at the end of the 2012-13 Serie D season.
In 2013 Palazzolo (registration number: 917156) relocated to Siracusa as A.S.D. Sport Club Siracusa, in order to replace A.S.D. Città di Siracusa (reg.no.: 936289), which was an illegitimate phoenix club of U.S. Siracusa. At the same time, a new team was refound in Palazzolo Acreide as A.S.D. Sport Club Palazzolo (reg.no.: 937886), which played in Promozione, by splitting the FIGC membership of C.S.D. Enzo Grasso, a local Syracuse team now plays in 5-a-side football only. However, the usage of the historic logo of A.S. Siracusa 1924 by S.C. Siracusa, was denied by Amici del Siracusa, an association that currently owned the rights to use it.
