Calcio Desenzano Società Sportiva Dilettantistica, commonly known as Desenzano, is an Italian association football club, based in Desenzano del Garda, which currently plays in Serie C Group A.

History

The club was founded in 1946 as Calvina, playing at the amateur level in the minor leagues for the entirety of its history before reaching a place in the Serie D in 2018.[2] In 2019, the club was acquired by entrepreneur Roberto Marai who, just a year later, agreed upon a merger with minor club Sporting Desenzano. The new club, named Desenzano Calvina from 2020 to 2022 and, since 2022, just Desenzano, played consistently in the Serie D league, always in the higher spots of the league table, ending in third place by the end of the 2024–25 Serie D season.

In the 2025–26 Serie D season, Desenzano emerged as strong promotion candidates, despite the presence of former Serie A clubs such as Pistoiese and Piacenza in the same league group.
