The first year in Serie B the Gialloblù closed the championship in fourth place in equal points with Lecce, in front of them instead ranked the cousins of Salernitana promoted to A, Ternana and Pescara.

After this relegation the team struggled to recover, indeed a crisis of results in 1983-84 caused Scafatese to sink into the First Category, and only by merging in 1986 with Don Bosco Oplonti returned to register in the Promotion.

In 2003-2004 the yellow-blue team managed to return to Serie D by beating Gragnano 2-1 on the last day of the championship at the Romeo Menti in Castellammare di Stabia.

The typical formation of the Scafatese team that won the 2006-07 Serie D championship coached by Egidio Pirozzi is: Sorriso, Baylon, Santamaria, Cordua, De Franco, Ginobili, Marzano, Marasco, Cosa, Sarli, Spinelli.

And so on 6 May 2007, Scafatese finally landed in C2, defeating the Lazio team Pisoniano 6-3 at the Comunale di Scafati in front of around seven thousand spectators.

In the 2014-15 season Scafatese reached the final of the Regional Italian Cup but was defeated 2-0 by Virtus Volla, while the following year they were relegated after losing the play-out against Valdiano.
