## History

In 1946 the Gallura Tempio Physical Education Society was founded and registered in the Sardinian First Division, where it remained until 1952, when it was admitted to the new Promotion championship. After having played three good championships, Tempio finished 1st in the 1955-1956 season. This allowed access to the VI Series.After having consolidated itself permanently in the league and having changed its name twice (S.E.F. Tempio in 1958 and S.E.F. Tempio Pausania in 1962) the club finished 2nd in the league but lost the promotion play-off against Empoli; at the end of the season it changes its name again to U.S. Temple. In 1970 the team was relegated to Promotion and three years later it was relegated to the First Category. In 1977 and 1981 he obtained two promotions and returned to Serie D. In the 1986-1987 season Il Tempio won promotion to Serie C2, after winning its group. In this category he played thirteen Serie C2 championships (from 1987 to 2000). In the 2005-2006 season it won the Eccellenza Sardegna championship and was promoted to Serie D (a championship it had not played for three years), after which it obtained promotion to Serie C2 the following season, winning group B. In the 2006/2007 season the team was led by coach Ninni Corda. Although the objective was to have a calm championship without worries, in 2007 the team won the national Serie D championship, gaining promotion to Serie C2. In the final against Sangiuseppese held at the municipal stadium of Città Sant'Angelo (PE), the Sardinian team won with a clear 4-1 and thus also won the Serie D championship. In the semi-final they had eliminated Scafatese: 3-2 in Scafati and 2-0 at home. On 19 July 2007 Co.Vi.Soc. excludes the team from the Serie C2 championship. The company is thus forced to start again from a category lower than the Sardinian Excellence because the appeals presented to the CONI arbitration, the Lazio TAR and the Council of State also failed. On 27 August the FIGC Sardinia registered the club in the First Category. In September 2008 the bankruptcy of the Tempio Sports Union was decreed. A new company with the name initially of A.S.D. Polisportiva Limbara and subsequently A.S.D. S.E.F. Tempio Pausania (since November 2008) was admitted to Group D of the Sardinian First Category. Having won their group, the Galletti also performed well in the Promotion, attempting to attack the top regional championship for three years in a row but without managing to get there: first the dispute for the title with other fallen nobles such as Nuorese Calcio and Polisportiva Alghero, then penalties and vicissitudes with the sporting justice system seemed to destined the square to go no further. However, on August 10th, at the end of the 2011-12 season, the news arrived of the repechage for the S.E.F. Temple thanks to the withdrawal of Atletico Elmas and Tavolara. The Italian team will compete in the Eccellenza Sardinia championship for the 2012/2013 season, surviving the playouts. In the 2013/2014 season he will be relegated again to the Promozione, where he will play until the 2016/2017 season, a year which ended with the failure to register for the 2017/2018 Promozione championship and the consequent disappearance of the Tempio Pausania Physical Education Society from the island's football scene. On the occasion of the 2017/2018 season, a corporate team takes over the sporting title of SEF Tempio Pausania and founds the Unione Sportiva Tempio 1946. The team, however, will start again from the Second Category championship, the fourth regional level, at the end of which it will acquire the sporting title of Star Sport Olbia to access the First Category. At the beginning of the 2021/22 season, Tempio was taken over by the Sechi Group and after having applied for repechage, it was able to participate in the Promozionechampionship.
