In the summer of 2011, the club was refounded as Associazione Sportiva Dilettantistica Igea Virtus Barcellona after the merger between the teams of Giovanile Calcio Igea and that of Taormina Trappitello (acquiring its sports title of Prima Categoria Sicily) getting the immediate promotion to Promozione Sicily. The club also won the Coppa Sicily of Prima Categoria.[1]
After the folding of the original club in 2019, it was refounded once again, through a relocation from nearby Terme Vigliatore of a Promozione team to Barcellona, under the new denomination of A.S.D. Igea 1946. Under this new structure, the club was promoted back to Eccellenza in 2020. After changing its denomination to A.S.D. Nuova Igea Virtus, the club won promotion to Serie D in 2023.[2]
The team's colors are yellow and red.
