===Early league successes and decline===
{{Main article|History of FCF.C. Pro Vercelli 1892}}
 
The origins of football in Vercelli go back to 1892 when it was founded as '''Società Ginnastica Pro Vercelli''' (''Pro Vercelli Gymnastics Society''), and 1903 with its Football Division.{{citation needed|date=January 2024}}
 
The first official match for the football division of S.G. Pro Vercelli took place on 3 August 1903 against the Forza e Costanza.{{citation needed|date=January 2024}}
 
The club won seven [[Italian Football Championship]]s from 1908 to 1922: [[1908 Italian Football Championship|1908]], [[1909 Italian Football Championship|1909]], [[1910–11 Italian Football Championship|1910–11]], [[1911–12 Italian Football Championship|1911–12]], [[1912–13 Italian Football Championship|1912–13]], [[1920–21 Italian Football Championship|1920–21]], and [[1921–22 Prima Divisione (C.C.I.)|1921–22]].{{citation needed|date=January 2024}}
 
The introduction of professionalism in Italian football, and the rise of teams from larger industrial and business cities such as [[Milan]] and [[Turin]], led Pro Vercelli to a slow but continuous decline.{{citation needed|date=January 2024}} They played Serie A for their last time to date in 1934–35, and went ultimately relegated also from the [[1947–48 Serie B]], starting a long period out of the two top divisions of Italian football, even being relegated to Italy's amateur league, [[Serie D]], in multiple times.{{citation needed|date=January 2024}} They regained professional status for good after winning promotion and the [[List of Serie D champions and promotions|Scudetto Dilettanti]] in the season 1993–94.{{citation needed|date=January 2024}}
 
===Bankruptcy and the new Pro Vercelli===
<!-- Deleted image removed: [[File:AS Pro Belvedere Calcio logo.png|100px|left|thumb|Former Pro Belvedere logo]] -->
In the early 2000s, Pro Vercelli also had to challenge crosstown rivalry from a new team, '''A.S. Pro Belvedere Vercelli''' (with the colours yellow and green), founded in the summer of 2006 as a merger between ''A.S. Trino Calcio'' (based in [[Trino, Piedmont]]), who played in [[Serie D]] and minor league team ''P.G.S. Pro Belvedere'', founded in 1912.{{citation needed|date=January 2024}}
 
In the [[2006–07 Serie D]], the team finished 9th in Girone A.{{citation needed|date=January 2024}} A year later, in the [[Serie D 2007–08]] season, the team finished 3rd in the same division, qualifying for the Serie D play-offs.{{citation needed|date=January 2024}} It won its way to the group stage of the tournament, but failed qualify as one of the top 5 teams of the play-offs, all of which were later promoted to [[Lega Pro Seconda Divisione]].{{citation needed|date=January 2024}}
 
In the [[2008–09 Serie D]], Pro Belvedere finished first in Girone B, winning direct promotion to Lega Pro Seconda Divisione.{{citation needed|date=January 2024}} Their debut season into professional football also featured, for the first time in the club's history, a crosstown derby with Pro Vercelli, but was not particularly{{tone inline|date=January 2024}}{{clarify|date=January 2024|reason=why 'particularly'?}} successful, with the team lying in second-last place for most of the time in the [[2009–10 Lega Pro Seconda Divisione]], and promotion winning coach Luca Prina being replaced by the more experienced Gianfranco Motta.{{citation needed|date=January 2024}}
 
Pro Belvedere were relegated after only one season but re-admitted to fill a number of vacancies in the league; at the same time, due to large debts, Pro Vercelli was not allowed to participate in the [[2010–11 Lega Pro Seconda Divisione]] and so folded.{{citation needed|date=January 2024}} In order to keep the old Pro Vercelli alive, Pro Belvedere changed its name to '''U.S. Vercelli Calcio''' and weeks later acquired honours and trademarks from the old Pro Vercelli, being thus allowed to switch its denomination to the current one, as well as to maintain the historical names and colours of the original team.<ref name="fcprovercelli"/>
 
In the season 2010–11 the team played in [[Lega Pro Seconda Divisione]] ranking 3rd and was eliminated from [[Aurora Pro Patria 1919|Pro Patria]] in the semifinal of the play-off, but on 4 August 2011 it was later admitted to [[Lega Pro Prima Divisione]] to fill vacancies.<ref>{{cite news|title=Calcio, Lega Pro; ripescaggi: 5 in I Divisione e Rimini in II|url=http://sport.repubblica.it/news/sport/calcio-lega-pro-ripescaggi-5-in-i-divisione-e-rimini-in-ii/4014274?refresh_cens|access-date=27 September 2015|work=[[la Repubblica]]|date=2011|language=it}}</ref>

In the [[2011–12 Lega Pro Prima Divisione|season 2011–12 of Lego Pro Prima Divisione]] the club was promoted to [[Serie B]] after 64 years, beating [[Carpi F.C. 1909|Carpi]] 3–1 in the final return of the play-off after the 0–0 of the first round.<ref>{{cite web|title=Lega Pro 1° A 2011/2012 Aufstieg|url=http://www.weltfussball.de/spielplan/ita-lega-pro-1-a-2011-2012-aufstieg-finale/2/|website=Weltfussball.de|access-date=27 September 2015|language=de}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|last1=Pasquino|first1=Stefano|title=Pro Vercelli in serie B, anche il Lanciano promosso|url=http://www.tuttosport.com/calcio/serie_b/2012/06/10-193116/Pro+Vercelli+in+serie+B,+anche+il+Lanciano+promosso|access-date=27 September 2015|work=[[Tuttosport]]|date=10 June 2012|language=it|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150927120234/http://www.tuttosport.com/calcio/serie_b/2012/06/10-193116/Pro+Vercelli+in+serie+B,+anche+il+Lanciano+promosso|archive-date=27 September 2015|url-status=dead}}</ref>
 
The club had a very{{vague|date=January 2024}}{{according to whom|date=January 2024}} unsuccessful return to Serie B, finishing 21st of 22 teams and with a goal difference −30, the worst in the league.{{citation needed|date=January 2024}} Their placing in the league meant that they were relegated to [[Lega Pro Prima Divisione]].{{citation needed|date=January 2024}}
 
In 2013–14 season, Girone A of Lega Pro 1, Pro Vercelli missed out on an immediate automatic promotion back to Serie B by a single point, finishing second in the league to Virtus Entella and eight points above third placed Südtirol.{{citation needed|date=January 2024}} Striker [[Ettore Marchi]] starred{{tone inline|date=January 2024}} throughout the season, scoring 15 goals. In the promotion play-offs, Pro Vercelli eliminated [[FeralpiSalò]], Savona and ultimately defeated Südtirol in the final, thus returning to Serie B after only one season away.{{citation needed|date=January 2024}} Pro Vercelli finished 16th in Serie B in the 2014–15 season and 17th in the 2015–16 season.{{citation needed|date=January 2024}} They were again relegated to Serie C after the 2017–18 season. On 11 July 2019, former Italian international striker [[Alberto Gilardino]] took the job as head coach.{{citation needed|date=January 2024}}
