How Serie A evolved into what it is today — a journey spanning more than a hundred years.
Italy's first national football competition was held in Turin with just four clubs. Genoa Cricket and Football Club won the inaugural title.
For the first time, the league was run as a full round-robin competition throughout the entire season. Inter Milan claimed the first modern Serie A title.
Fierce competition among Juventus, AC Milan, and Inter Milan defined the era, cementing Italian football's reputation on the world stage.
Maradona, Platini, Gullit, Van Basten, Zico — the greatest players in the world came to Serie A. The league reached the peak of its global popularity during this decade.
AC Milan beat Barcelona 4–0 in the Champions League, with legends like Maldini, Baresi, Savicevic, and Desailly all on the pitch.
Juventus were relegated to Serie B following a match-fixing scandal — one of the darkest chapters in Italian football history.
Under Jose Mourinho, Inter Milan won the Serie A, Coppa Italia, and UEFA Champions League in the same season — the only treble ever achieved by an Italian club.
Juventus claimed nine consecutive Serie A titles (2011–2020) — the most remarkable dynasty in modern Italian football.
Serie A was the first top-flight league in the world to introduce VAR across an entire season.
Inter Milan ended Juventus's long dominance to claim the Serie A title for the first time in 11 years.
With Inter Milan, AC Milan, Napoli, and Juventus all competing at the top, the league has become more fiercely contested than ever.
Understanding the league format means knowing why each result matters, how points are calculated, and what each position in the table means.
A win earns 3 points, a draw 1 point, and a loss 0 points. The club with the most points at the end of the season wins the Scudetto.
The top 4 clubs qualify directly for the following season's UEFA Champions League. The 5th and 6th-placed clubs advance to the UEFA Europa League.
At the end of the season, the three clubs with the fewest points are relegated to Serie B (the second division), while three clubs are promoted up from Serie B.
If two clubs are level on points, the tiebreakers are applied in this order: Head-to-Head record, then goal difference, then total goals scored.

Serie A is more than just a league — it's a football philosophy. Centuries of tactical tradition set it apart from every other league in the world.
Catenaccio (meaning "door bolt") is the most iconic tactical system in Italian football. In the 1940s and 50s, Helenio Herrera and Nereo Rocco popularized this defensive approach, which deploys a Sweeper (Libero) behind the back line to cover defensive errors.
Modern Serie A has evolved significantly. Today you'll find a blend of pressing, high defensive lines, and rapid counter-attacks — though the tradition of defensive solidity remains very much alive.
A Libero or Sweeper positioned behind a four-man defensive line — a system designed to make the defence almost impenetrable. Inter Milan used this approach to conquer Europe in the 1960s and 70s.
Winning the ball back by pressing the opponent in their own half. Maurizio Sarri popularized this approach at Napoli in Serie A.

"Il Pupone" or "The King of Rome" — he spent his entire career at AS Roma and remains the club's all-time top scorer.
