What are Italy's Top Football Competitions?
Football, or “Calcio” as it is known to locals, is by some way the biggest sport in Italy. Italian football has produced a number of all-time great players and teams over the years. No wonder it has grown to be so popular around the world. Serie A gained huge popularity around the world thanks to massive growth in the 1990’s, and remains a big attraction to fans today. Here we outline the top tier of the Italian game, and the other competitions on offer.
- Serie A: Serie A is the highest rung on the ladder. Held in its current form since the 1929-30 season, Serie A sees the top 20 sides in the country play each other home and away in the race for the “Scudetto”.
- Serie B: Also founded in 1929, Serie B is the second tier of Italian football. At the end of each season three Serie B sides will receive the ultimate reward of promotion to Serie A.
- Coppa Italia: Italy’s knockout cup competition is open to all sides from Serie A, B, C, D, and awards the winning side with a place in the following seasons UEFA Europa League.
- The National Team: Gli Azzuri (The Blues) have won the World Cup on more occasions than any other European nation. Italy take part in the World Cup, European Cup and UEFA Nations League.

Who are the biggest teams in Italian Football?
One of the major reasons Italian football has attained such status is of course down to the clubs who take part. Some of whom are amongst the most instantly recognisable in the global game:
- Juventus: “The Old Lady” are the most famous, and most successful side, in Italian football. Based in Turin, and playing in those famous black and white stripes, Juventus have no fewer than 35 league titles to their name.
- AC Milan: Juventus may be the most successful side domestically, but they are not the most decorated Italian side in European competition. That honour belongs to the side often referred to simply as “Milan”. Known as “I Rossoneri” due to their red and black stripes, AC Milan have seven European Cups in the trophy cabinet.
- Inter Milan: AC Milan’s major rivals are “I Nerazzurri” of Inter Milan. Also referred to as Internazionale, or simply Inter, the “Blue and Blacks” have won 18 Serie A, and are the only side never to have been relegated from the top-flight.
- Lazio: Based in the capital city of Rome, “The Eagles” of Lazio were founded in 1900. One of the best clubs in the country, Lazio are regularly challenging for the European positions, and have won 15 domestic trophies.
- AS Roma: Also based in Rome, and sharing the Stadio Olimpico with major rivals Lazio, are the I Giallorossi of AS Roma. Founded in 1927, they have spent only one season outside of the top-flight, and are just one behind Lazio in the domestic trophy count, with 14 as of 2020.
- Napoli: Completing our list of the biggest sides in the Italian game are the Naples club where the brilliant Diego Maradona spent seven years of his career. Napoli have had their share of ups and downs over the years – going bankrupt in 2004 – but remain one of the most popular sides in Italy.
Which are the Top Derbies in Italian Football?
Italian football may be renowned for the tactical side of the game, but it is also famous for its passion. And nowhere is that passion more in evidence than in the country’s major derby fixtures:
- The Milan Derby (AC Milan vs Inter Milan): Known to Italians as “Il Derby Della Madonnina” in honour of the statue of the Virgin Mary in the city’s Cathedral, this clash between the two Milan sides, is one of the most passionate games in world football.
- The Rome Derby (Lazio vs Roma): Another red-hot fixture known as ''Derby della Capitale'' which can see tempers flare, is this matchup between the two sides from the capital. The Stadio Olimpico is certainly no place for the faint hearted when Lazio and Roma lock horns.
- The Derby of the South (Napoli vs Roma): Napoli and Roma may not be based in the same city, but there is nevertheless little love lost when these two sides face off. Also known as “Derby del Sole” or “Derby of the Sun”, these two sides are generally evenly matched, leading to closely fought games.
- The Derby of Italy (Juventus vs Inter Milan): These two sides are two of the best supported sides in the country, and both have many fans outside of their home cities of Turin and Milan. Already fierce rivals, events such as Juventus being stripped of the title in 2004 – with the trophy then being given to Inter – have only served to fuel the fire.
- The Derby of the Mole (Juventus vs Torino): Named after the Mole Antonelliana landmark in the city, this fixture sees Turin’s two biggest sides do battle. Turin has more Serie A titles to its name than any other Italian city with 42 in total - the majority of which have fallen to Juventus. It is however Torino who are the better supported side in the city itself.
Who are Italian Football Most Famous Players?
Italy is famed for the defensive side of the game, and has given us many outstanding defenders and goalkeepers over the years. Two such players make our list of famous names, together with three stars more famed for their creativity:
- Roberto Baggio: Sporting a hairstyle which earned him the nickname “The Divine Ponytail”, Baggio was one of the most talented playmakers ever to have graced the Italian game. A dazzling player!
- Alessandro Del Piero: Another scintillating forward famous for his time in the black and whit of Juventus is Alessandro Del Piero. Deadly from set-pieces, Del Piero has the most free kick goals in Juventus’s history.
- Paolo Maldini: The likes of Franco Baresi, and Fabio Cannavaro came close to making this list, but AC Milan legend Paolo Maldini gets the vote as the best defender in the history of the Italian game.
- Gianluigi Buffon: Italy’s greatest ever goalkeeper. Buffon has nine Serie A titles to his name, but will perhaps be best remembered for his sensational performances as part of the Italian national side which lifted the World Cup in 2006.
- Gianfranco Zola: Just as deadly as Del Piero from free kicks, and with a similar type of magic in his boots as Baggio, Zola lit up Serie A with Napoli, Parma and Cagliari, and took the Premier League by storm when playing for Chelsea.
Who has won the most Italian Soccer Titles per Competition?
The Premier League, FA Cup, League Cup and Championship are the biggest club competitions in the English game, but who are the most successful sides in each?
