Dive deep into the history of Serie A, exploring how the league began
and evolved over time, from its early days to its current status as one
of Italy’s premier football leagues.
Founded in 1898, Serie A began as the Italian Football Championship
and was officially renamed Serie A in 1929. The league was
established to provide a structured and competitive platform for
Italian football, quickly becoming known for its tactical play and
high level of competition.
Serie A’s prominence surged in the 1960s and 1980s, with clubs like
AC Milan, Inter Milan, and Juventus becoming dominant forces. The
league gained international acclaim for its world-class players and
innovative strategies, contributing to its reputation as one of the
best leagues in the world.
In the 1990s and 2000s, Serie A continued to attract top talent and
maintain its status as a football powerhouse. Despite facing
challenges in the 2010s, the league remains known for its passionate
fan base and competitive play.
Today, Serie A is celebrated for its rich history, iconic teams, and
significant contributions to the sport of football. Its legacy
includes memorable matches, legendary players, and a deep commitment
to excellence in Italian football.
2024 Champion
Inter become Serie A champions with derby win over Milan, earn 'second
star' for historic 20th Scudetto win
Inter have won the 2023-24 Serie A title after an incredible season.
The team coached by Simone Inzaghi has secured its 20th Serie A
title, the second-most of any in Italy, behind only Juventus. The
Nerazzurri lead the league from wire to wire and deserved to win
locking up the historic Scudetto in a season where they absolutely
demolished the competition.
By winning the 2023-24 title, Inter win the 20th Scudetto in their
history, the so-called second star. In Italian soccer, teams that
win at least ten Serie A titles can sew one star on their jerseys,
twenty gets you two, and so on . Inter, from next season, can
officially show their second star on the official jersey and logo.
The Nerazzurri become the second Italian team, after Juventus and
their 36 Serie A titles, to be entitled to it.
This is also the first Scudetto for manager Simone Inzaghi, who
finally made his dream true. Inzaghi joined Inter in the summer of
2021 to replace Antonio Conte, only a few days after the Nerazzurri
won their 19th title.
