 It was a cruel relegation for the club when considering that the team who finished 9th were only three points above 16th place Internapoli.The club had fallen back down to the regional footballing competitions for the rest of the 1970s, in leagues such as "Promozione Campania".By the start of the 1980s, Internapoli were starting to come back into form; first they won the Coppa Italia Dilettanti by beating Mobilieri Ponsacco 1–0, the competition is the amateur equivalent of the Coppa Italia.
