Empoli spent the decades after their 1920 start in the lower divisions, withdrawing from the 1935–36 season halfway through when many players were called up. After the war they were admitted to Serie B and finished third in 1946–47. The small-town club reached Serie A in 1986, playing its first home games in Florence and opening with a 1–0 win over Internazionale. Two more promotions came in 2002 and 2005, and in 2006–07 Empoli qualified for the UEFA Cup. They lost the 2012–13 play-off final to Livorno, then went up the next season as runners-up to Palermo.
