FC Malcantone Agno

Formed on 1 July 1955, Malcantone Agno played primarily in the fourth tier of Swiss football. The club played its home games in the Centro Sportivo Passera, which offered space for 1,280 spectators. It was not until the 1998/99 season, under coach Silvano Gaffuri, the club was promoted to Swiss 1. Liga. The club were champions of the 1. Liga in the 2001/02 season under new Bosnian-Swiss coach Vladimir Petković but were defeated in the promotion playoffs 2–4 on aggregate against SC Young Fellows Juventus. However, they were promoted the following season having defeated FC La Chaux-de-Fonds 3-2 on aggregate.

In the 2003-04 season, their first season in the Nationalliga B, the club moved stadium to the Stadio Cornaredo which had been used by newly declared bankrupt FC Lugano. The club's debut season was relatively successful, finishing fourth with a strong spine built around Alberto Regazzoni and Yane Bugnard (who scored eleven goals each), future national goalkeeper Germano Vailati in goal and ex-international Régis Rothenbühler in defense.

That was to be the final season for the club as it merged with the bankrupt FC Lugano, to become AC Lugano. Vladimir Petković became the trainer of the new club and Malcantone president Giuseppe Morotti, became the new club president. The club's logo was incorporated into the lower end of AC Lugano's coat of arms.
