About This Competition
Italy’s top professional football league is called Italy Serie A. This is a league that is steeped in history that dates back to 1930 when it was known as “Lega Calcio”. Serie A took over in 2012 and has quickly become one of the most exciting European leagues. 20 clubs battle for the right to be crowned “Coppa Campioni d’Italia”, which is awarded to the league leaders at the end of the season. Two of Europe’s biggest clubs, Juventus and Milan play in Italy’s premier league. Between the two of them, they have lifted the trophy 34 times and 18 times respectively. There is no promotion from Italy Serie A, but the top four teams qualify for the UEFA Champions League. Fifth place qualifies for the Europa League. Two further Europa League places are determined by domestic cup competitions
