The 2003-04 campaign delivered a solid mid-table finish for Catania as the Rossazzurri secured 9th place in Serie B under the management of Gabriele Matricciani. Spearheading the attack was the prolific duo of veteran Luís Oliveira and the emerging local hero Giuseppe Mascara, who each netted 13 crucial league goals. It was a season built on determination, with talents like Guglielmo Stendardo and Gennaro Delvecchio providing a stable foundation in what was a competitive year for the club.
