The 1996 LEN Trophy was Pescara's last major European win before the long-awaited climbing to the top of the Italian league for two consecutive years in 1997 and 1998.
Throughout, the aforementioned period is characterized by Pescara's continuous unsuccessful attempt to throw off Savona and mostly Posillipo from the throne of Serie A1 and LEN Champions League.
In the 2000s the club has experienced a slow decline in sports and corporate, losing participation in the European Cup and then to the top flight.
At the beginning of the 2009-10 season AS Waterpolis Pescara announced its failure and the withdrawal from all domestic and international leagues.
