Serie A

Serie A is Italy's top professional football division and one of Europe's most storied competitions. Founded as a national round-robin league in 1929, Serie A is renowned for tactical sophistication, defensive mastery, and some of football's most fanatical supporter cultures. Italian clubs have lifted 12 European Cup/Champions League trophies, with AC Milan, Inter Milan and Juventus all claiming multiple titles. The league is home to derbies that rank among football's fiercest, including the Derby della Madonnina at San Siro and the Derby della Capitale at Stadio Olimpico, and to historic venues like Stadio Diego Armando Maradona, Stadio Artemio Franchi and Stadio Luigi Ferraris. With 20 teams competing each season, Serie A blends generational stadium architecture with modern, club-owned grounds like Allianz Stadium in Turin.
