A.S.D Gioiese 1918 is an Italian football club based in Gioia Tauro, Calabria.

Currently it plays in Italy's Serie D. The first Gioiese was founded in 1918, and its colours was white and blue with stripes.

The first experience Gioiese had of such level occurred after World War II, when he participated in Serie C known as Lega Interregionale South until 1948.

After the departure of Scoglio, the Gioiese prepared for next season in Serie C2 with a new coach Bruno Jacoboni, but the results came negative, with a relegation on the final day, despite beating Messina.

So the first team of Gioia Tauro became Libero Calcio Nuova Gioiese, a team born in 1968 and which, under the leadership of president Rombolà, make a big climb from Seconda Categoria to Eccellenza.
