The club renamed to Pro Vasto in 1952, but was cancelled in 1981 due to financial problems.

A minor local team in Promozione league called Società Sportiva Incoronata took its place, and switched denomination to Associazione Calcio Vasto 82 one year later, being promoted to Serie D in 1984 only to be relegated back in 1987.

After this relegation, the club changed denomination again, this time to Vastese Calcio, being promoted back to Serie D in 1988, and returning to Serie C2 in 1990 after a successful season in the Italian top amateur level.

In 1997 local Promozione club Vasto Marina changed its denomination to the current one of Football Club Pro Vasto and made two consecutive promotions to return to Serie D in 1999.

A new property then acquired the club bringing it back into the Italian fifth tier, one year later and returning into Serie C2 in 2004.
