We trace our roots back to the famous Football Italia show, which was incredibly popular in the UK during the 1990s and beyond. The show inspired a generation of Italian football fans, capitalising on Paul Gascoigne’s move to Lazio in 1992. Serie A was arguably the best league in the world throughout the 90s, featuring some of the finest players on the planet. From Roberto Baggio and Gabriel Batistuta to the Brazilian Ronaldo and Gazza, the decade was a golden period for Serie A.

Nowadays, Italy has a number of powerhouse clubs who remain European heavyweights. The likes of Juventus and Inter challenge for the top honours at home and abroad, while Milan look like they’re on the road back to former glories and clubs like Atalanta have wowed the continent in recent years.

The second tier of Italian football – Serie B – has been played since the 1929-30 season. Prior to 1929 there had been a Second Category operating underneath the First Category, the forerunner of Serie A, and was primarily a regional affair.

The new Serie B, however, reflected Serie A in its national scale and has continued to mirror the top flight ever since, aside from the post-war period when Serie B returned to a north-south divide.

There are 20 teams in Serie B, though previous editions saw as many as 24 teams compete after a series of legal wrangles involving Catania in 2003-04. Three teams are promoted to Serie A – the top two automatically and the third via the play-offs, unless there is a gap of 15 or more points between third and fourth, in which case the third-place team is automatically promoted.

It’s a similar situation at the bottom as three teams drop to Serie C automatically, while the fourth and fifth-bottom clubs meet in a relegation play-out. However, if the 16th-placed team are five or more points ahead of the team in 17th, they are safe and the team in 17th drops down a division.

The Italy national team – known as the Azzurri because of the colour of their shirts – are one of international football’s most successful teams: four-time World Cup winners – in 1934, 1938, 1982 and 2006 – and two-time European Championship winners (1968 and 2020). Italy has also played host to the World Cup twice, in 1934 and 1990, and the European Championships twice, in 1968 and 1980.

Gianluigi Buffon has made the most appearances for the Italy national team of any player, with the goalkeeper winning 176 caps between his debut in 1997 at the age of 19 to his last appearance, almost 20 years later in 2018. Buffon was part of the Italy team that won the World Cup in 2006.

Luigi Riva, the legendary Cagliari forward, is Italy’s all-time leading goalscorer, with 35 in 42 appearances. Riva’s goals came between 1965 and 1974 and place him above the likes of Giuseppe Meazza and Silvio Piola, a well as modern-day attackers such as Roberto Baggio, Alessandro Del Piero and Pippo Inzaghi, who all feature in the top 10.
