Serie A, officially known as Serie A TIM for sponsorship reasons, is Italy’s top-tier professional football league and one of the most storied competitions in global football. Founded in 1898, it features 20 clubs battling from August to May in a 38-match season for the prestigious Scudetto title, UEFA Champions League qualification, and to avoid relegation to Serie B. Renowned for its tactical sophistication, passionate fanbase, and historic rivalries like the Derby d’Italia (Juventus vs. Inter Milan) and Derby della Madonnina (AC Milan vs. Inter), Serie A is a cornerstone of football culture.

Notable players include Victor Osimhen (Napoli), a dynamic striker linked with top clubs; Lautaro Martínez (Inter Milan), Argentina’s World Cup-winning captain; Rafael Leão (AC Milan), a dazzling winger; Dušan Vlahović (Juventus), a prolific goal-scorer; and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia (Napoli), the Georgian sensation known for his flair. Veterans like Paulo Dybala (Roma) and rising stars like Joshua Zirkzee (Bologna, now attracting European interest) further enhance the league’s star power.
Serie A’s rich history includes iconic clubs like Juventus (36 titles), AC Milan, and Inter Milan, with legendary figures such as Diego Maradona, Zinedine Zidane, and Ronaldo having graced its pitches. In 2023-24, Inter Milan clinched the title, while the league’s competitive balance, with 557 goals scored last season, keeps fans engaged.
