Football league season right|thumb|325px|Geographical distribution of 2009-10 Lega Pro Prima Divisione teams. Girone A teams are depicted with red dots, whereas Girone B ones were represented with yellow. The 2009–10 Lega Pro Prima Divisione season was the thirty-second football league season of Italian Lega Pro Prima Divisione since its establishment in 1978, and the second since the renaming from Serie C to Lega Pro. It was divided into two phases: the regular season, played from 23 August 2009 to May 2010, and the playoff phase from May to June 2010. The league was contested by 36 teams, geographically divided into two divisions of 18 teams each. Teams only played other teams in their own division, once at home and once away for a total of 34 matches each. Teams finishing first in the regular season, plus one team winning the playoff round from each division were promoted to Serie B; teams finishing last in the regular season, plus two relegation playoff losers from each division were relegated to Lega Pro Seconda Divisione. Four teams were thus promoted to Serie B and six teams were relegated to Lega Pro Seconda Divisione. Events Start of season The league was to feature four teams relegated from Serie B in 2008–09; Rimini, Pisa, Avellino, and Treviso. On July 9, the Covisoc (Commissione di Vigilanza sulle Società Calcistiche, Vigilancy Commission on Football Clubs) organization announced that Pisa, Avellino, and Treviso did not pass the financial requirements in order to be admitted to the league. The clubs were allowed to appeal the decision until 11 July.http://www.tuttosport.com/calcio/legapro_serie_d/lega_pro/2009/07/08-33144/Iscrizioni:+16+squadre+non+iscritte+in+Lega+Pro tuttosport.com it 2009-09-20 2009-07-08 Iscrizioni: 16 squadre non iscritte in Lega Pro https://web.archive.org/web/20090711123053/http://www.tuttosport.com/calcio/legapro_serie_d/lega_pro/2009/07/08-33144/Iscrizioni:+16+squadre+non+iscritte+in+Lega+Pro 2009-07-11 dead On 10 July, Pisa announced they were not appealing the exclusion from the league due to their failure to meet the financial requirements.http://www.pisacalcio.it/news/dettaglio.html?iId=3166 Pisa Calcio it 2009-07-10 2009-07-10 COMUNICATO UFFICIO STAMPA PISA CALCIO dead https://web.archive.org/web/20090713180413/http://www.pisacalcio.it/news/dettaglio.html?iId=3166 July 13, 2009 The next day, Treviso and Avellino failed to appeal the exclusion as well.http://sport.repubblica.it/news/sport/calcio-treviso-niente-lega-pro-quattro-anni-fa-era-serie-a/3691992 La Repubblica it 2009-07-11 2009-07-11 CALCIO, TREVISO: NIENTE LEGA PRO, QUATTRO ANNI FA ERA SERIE A 2023-09-11 https://web.archive.org/web/20230911110359/https://sport.repubblica.it/news/sport/calcio-treviso-niente-lega-pro-quattro-anni-fa-era-serie-a/3691992 dead http://www.gazzetta.it/Calcio/12-07-2009/da-venezia-ad-avellino-50743709917.shtml La Gazzetta dello Sport it 2009-07-12 2009-07-11 Da Venezia ad Avellino, l'Italia cancellata It is to feature six teams promoted from 2008–09 Lega Pro Seconda Divisione; the three division winners - Varese, Figline & Cosenza, and the three playoff winners - Como, Giulianova & Pescina V.d.G.

Of those, Venezia (17th in Girone A), and Perugia (8th in Girone B) were also listed by the Covisoc organization as not having met the financial requirements to be admitted.

It was the first time in Italian professional football that a club was excluded from a league during the season for a corruption case.http://www.repubblica.it/sport/calcio/2010/03/19/news/presunto_illecito_punite_salernitana_e_potenza-2775451/ La Repubblica it 2010-03-19 2010-03-20 Presunto illecito: punite Salernitana e Potenza In April 1993 Unione Sportiva Arezzo was excluded from Serie C1 Girone A with still seven matches to go, but due to bankruptcy and subsequent failure of their license. The verdict was however partly reverted on appeal later on 2 April, when the Tribunale Nazionale di Arbitrato per lo Sport (National Arbitration Court for Sports) admitted Potenza back to the league in order to allow the club complete the season; however the club will nevertheless appear as last-placed in the final table, regardless of the results from the coming games, thus forcing Potenza to play in the Lega Pro Seconda Divisione for the 2010–11 season.http://www.lagazzettadelmezzogiorno.it/GdM_dallabasilicata_NOTIZIA_01.php?IDNotizia=323798&IDCategoria=12 La Gazzetta del Mezzogiorno it Potenza retrocesso ma giocherà le gare 2010-04-14 2010-04-02 dead https://web.archive.org/web/20140812213119/http://www.lagazzettadelmezzogiorno.it/GdM_dallabasilicata_NOTIZIA_01.php?IDNotizia=323798&IDCategoria=12 2014-08-12 Girone A Teams Club City Stadium Capacity 2008–09 season U.S. Alessandria Calcio 1912 Alessandria Stadio Giuseppe Moccagatta 8,182 2nd in Lega Pro Seconda Divisione A A.C.
