History
Early years
The first incarnation of the current club was founded in 1971 as Union Clodia Sottomarina, when two teams from Chioggia, U.S. Sottomarina Lido (founded in 1959 and based in the frazione of Sottomarina) and Clodia, were merged.
After many years in Serie C, the team was relegated to lower divisions in 1977.
In 1989, the club changed its name to S.S.C. Chioggia Sottomarina and, in 1995, to A.C. Chioggia Sottomarina. Three years later, it was promoted from Eccellenza Veneto to Serie D.
In the summer of 2011, the club did not apply to participate in the 2011-12 Serie D due to financial issues. It successively merged with Eccellenza Veneto rival crosstown club Sottomarina Lido to become A.S.D. Clodiense, winning promotion back to Serie D one year later.
In the summer of 2012, it was renamed Union Clodiense and adopted its current denomination in 2019.
In 2024, Union Clodiense Chioggia were crowned Serie D Group C champions, thus winning promotion to Serie C.
