About Serie A

The Serie A is a professional football league, the top division of the Italian football league system, is one of the strongest football divisions in the world, ranking third in the UEFA coefficients table, after championships of England and Spain (as of 2022). The Serie A winner places the Scudetto on his kit and also receives the cup. This tournament was founded in 1898, then the competition was held in groups divided according to the regional principle, but since 1929 Serie A has changed its format, since then the participating teams have played in a round robin system. The last winner of the tournament is AC Milan.

Format

Since the 2004/2005 season, 20 teams have taken part in Serie A. During the football season (from August to May) each of the clubs meets the other twice: one game takes place in the arena of the first, the other, respectively, of the second. Thus, the club plays 38 matches per season (19 in the 1st round and 19 in the 2nd). Meetings in both circles follow the same sequence. If a club wins, it receives three points; if it draws, it receives one point. In the event of a loss, no points are awarded.

The places are distributed according to the results of the meetings between the teams if they scored the same number of points. If this indicator does not allow determining the places occupied by the teams, they are distributed according to the best difference between goals scored and goals conceded. If this indicator is equal, the higher place is occupied by the team with more goals scored. If their number is equal, a draw is made.

At the end of each season, the club with the most points is declared the winner. The three teams at the bottom of the standings (i.e. 18th, 19th, 20th) are relegated to Serie B. The 4 clubs ranked 1st to 4th qualify for the Champions League . 5th and 6th places give the right to play in the Europa League. The club that won the Coppa Italia qualifies third for the Europa League. The ticket is given to the seventh team of the championship if the winner of the Italian Cup has already been qualified for the Champions League or the Europa League through the championship.
