FC墨西拿

Foundation

The club is the direct heir of U.S.D. Camaro Messina, an amateur football club from the Messina neighbourhood of Camaro that was founded in 1969.

Città di Messina

In 2010 the club was renamed to S.S.D. Città di Messina.

In the season 2011–12 the team was promoted from Eccellenza Sicily Group B^[] to Serie D after playoffs.

However, they were then relegated twice, and won two straight promotion in 2017 from 2016–17 Promozione Sicily [it] and 2018 from 2017–18 Eccellenza Sicily [it] to find themselves back to Serie D for the 2018–19 Serie D, at the same level with the historical main team in the city, ACR Messina. The club escaped relegation in 2019 after winning a playoff against Locri.

Football Club Messina

In the summer of 2019, the club was acquired by supermarket entrepreneur Rocco Arena, who was also the owner of Spanish club CF Independiente Alicante (heir of Alicante CF).

On 13 July 2019, the Italian Football Federation approved a change name request for the club, which was renamed Football Club Messina.

In the 2020–21 Serie D season, FC Messina ended in second place, behind crosstown rivals ACR Messina. They later won the Serie D Girone I playoffs, defeating Acireale in the semifinal and Gelbison in the final, thus ensuring them the right to be admitted to Serie C in case of a league vacancy.

In July 2021, following Serie D Girone A champions Gozzano's withdrawal, FC Messina applied to be readmitted to Serie C. However, the request to be readmitted was denied by the Lega Pro committee, and successively also on appeal, due to the club's inability to provide a valid surety in time.

The 2021–22 Serie D campaign saw club owner Rocco Arena relinquishing from investing in the club during the season. In December the club released most of its players and failed to show up at two consecutive league games, thus being excluded from the league with immediate effect.
