History
Since Bellinzona is an Italian speaking region, many Italian Serie A clubs loan youth players to the club to get first team experience. AS Roma are a parent club to Bellinzona.
Bellinzona was promoted to the Swiss Super League after beating St. Gallen by 5-2 on aggregate in the relegation play-off following the 2007-2008 season. Bellinzona will play at the top level in 2008-2009 season for the first time since the 1989-90 season. As finalists in the Swiss Cup, the team also qualified for the 08-09 UEFA Cup where they beat Ararat Yerevan of Armenia in the 1st qualifying round.
