U.S. Siracusa S.r.l., commonly referred to as simply Siracusa, was an Italian association football club located in Syracuse, Sicily.
The club withdrew from professional football in 2012. An illegitimate phoenix club, was promoted to Lega Pro in 2016 as Siracusa Calcio (known as A.S.D. Città di Siracusa from 2014 to 2016 and Sport Club Siracusa from 2013 to 2014). Another illegitimate phoenix club, also known as A.S.D. Città di Siracusa, lasted for only one season from 2012 to 2013.
U.S. Siracusa itself was an illegitimate phoenix club of A.S. Siracusa.
U.S. Siracusa was an illegitimate heir of A.S. Siracusa, which focused on youth football from 1995, until folded circa 2006.
Unione Sportiva Aldo Marcozzi 1956 was a team from Syracuse. Circa 1991 the team became a S.r.l. with a P.IVA 01007200890. The team played in 1995–96 Promozione Sicily (7-tier at that time). In 1996 the club switched the name to Unione Sportiva Dilettanti Siracusa S.r.l., as the major team representing the city in senior football, after the expel of A.S. Siracusa from the professional league in 1995. However, one of the affiliated youth club of U.S. Siracusa, was remained to use the name Aldo Marcozzi at least until 2004–05 season. That season, Aldo Marcozzi finished as the 4th of Group B of Siracusa Provincial Allievi League, while A.S. Siracusa finished as the 8th. U.S. Siracusa's under-17 team was played in National Allievi League – Serie D Division that season.
The team reached Serie D in 1999 (fifth tier at that time), but quickly relegated back to Eccellenza Sicily. Siracusa returned to play Serie D in 2002; since then, the Sicilian team unsuccessfully tried to reach a spot into professional football until 2009, when they dominated the Group I of Serie D, getting finally promoted back to Lega Pro Seconda Divisione (ex-Serie C2) in advance of six weeks, after a 2–0 home win to Rosarno in front of 5,000 local supporters. After the promotion the club dropped the word "amateur" from the denomination, to become Unione Sportiva Siracusa S.r.l..
In their first season back into professionalism, Siracusa have re-appointed Giuliano Sonzogni as head coach; fan favourite Sonzogni had already served as head coach in what then proved to be the most successful season in the club history, in 1994–95 (as A.S. Siracusa).
