History of the Serie A League in Italy
Professional football has existed in Italy since 1898. The top league for men is the Serie A which in Italian is the Lega Nazionale Professionisti Serie A. In 1929, the Serie A was given the same structure as it has today. From 1961, the winners of the Serie A have been awarded the famous Coppa Campioni d’Italia trophy.
When the Serie A first began there were 18 teams competing. This has changed over the years with as many as 21 clubs in the Serie A and as few as 16 clubs. Today, the Italian Serie A league consists of 20 club teams and this has been the case since the season of 2004 – 2005.
In Italy there are three leagues of professional football. The Serie A is the top league and there is also the Serie B and the Serie C. It wasn’t until 1929 that the Serie B second division was introduced and the third division Serie C came years after this. Football played in leagues below Serie C is semi-professional or amateur level.
Three teams in the Italian Serie A league qualify the Champions League at the end of each season. One Champions League place is given to the domestic Coppa Italia cup winners. Teams that finish from 3rd to 6th spot in Serie A qualify for other European cup competitions.
Now the teams that finish in the bottom three spots in Serie A are automatically relegated to the second division Serie B. This has been the case since 2006 – 2007. Prior to this, only the bottom two clubs in Serie A faced relegation and there has also been relegation play offs in the past.
