History
Early years
The historic club was founded in 1902 as U.S. Biellese. It had its best results in the 20's, when it won the Second Division achieving the National Division, the Serie A's forerunner of that period. In 1930 the club changed its name to A.S. Biellese. Refounded in 1945 following the end of World War II, they resumed from Serie B, being however relegated immediately to Serie C. The club played in the minor leagues of Italian football ever since.

In the summer 1993 the provincial club of F.C. Vigliano, just promoted in Eccellenza Piemonte, changes its name to F.C.V. Biellese-Vigliano which becomes Biellese F.C. in 1997, for regaining A.S. Biellese 1902 only in 2001.
A.S. Biellese 1902 finished 17th in Girone A of Serie C2 2006-07 and was forced to play in the relegation playoffs, where it lost 3–2 on aggregate to 14th-placed Lumezzane, and was relegated to Serie D.
