During this period, the club also established a thriving youth academy, led by Luciano Del Pinto and Egidio Iannini.

The academy prioritized youth talent, a philosophy that yielded fruits in subsequent decades, producing players like Giuseppe Greco and Lorenzo Del Pinto who went on to play in Serie A.

In 1999, to give continuity to the projects of the past, the club merged with near soccer team of Tornimparte: the name changed to Società Polisportiva Amiternina .

Hence, in 2002, there was the split: local football fans of Tornimparte have recreated their own team in the Terza Categoria (the ninth level), while S.P.D.

Given the impossibility of continuing the sporting activity, the Federation gave the possibility to all the teams of the municipalities of the crater to preserve the category and, consequently, the company of the new president Maurizio Colantoni had the opportunity to re-register in the Promotion championship.

In the first season in Serie D the team keeps the category without play-out, winning against famous clubs such as A.C. Ancona (2–3 at the Conero Stadium and 1–1 within friendly walls) and S.S. Sambenedettese Calcio (0–1).

This agreement also makes it possible to advertise the name of the country Scoppito in a national championship as Serie D, with a major radicalization on the territory.
