Pallacanestro Messina

Established in 1976, the club was admitted to the first division Serie A for the 2003-04 season after Virtus Bologna was excluded for financial irregularities.^[1]Messina struggled on every front during that season, finishing dead last in the league whilst suffering from financial problems and a lack of interest from the public.^[2]With debts too big to allow the club to even take part in other divisions and scaring off clubs that wanted to buy the side's sporting rights, Messina went bankrupt a few months after the season.^[3]
