Like a bolt from the blue, right in the middle of the press conference at the club assembly, the League president, Ezio Simonelli, announced a historic change regarding the football league. Starting today, in fact, it will no longer be called the “Lega Nazionale Professionisti Serie A,” but rather “Lega Calcio Serie A,” as it was some years ago.

Serie A, President Simonelli announces a return to the past: “We will once again be called Lega Calcio”

One of the first club assemblies of the 2025/2026 football season has concluded. Several important decisions were made during the meeting, such as the one concerning the unavailability of the San Siro stadium for Euro 2032, a competition that Italy will have to share with Turkey. According to League president Ezio Simonelli, building a new stadium for the city of Milan will be fundamental for awarding the sporting event for national teams to the Lombard capital itself.

During the assembly, the President himself announced a change regarding the League. Starting today, in fact, the football league will no longer be called “Lega Nazionale Professionisti Serie A,” but will return to the past with “Lega Calcio Serie A.” The decision was explained by the President with these words: “We have changed our name. We will no longer be called Lega Nazionale Professionisti Serie A, a name that is too long and difficult, but we are going back to our roots and from today we will once again be called Lega Calcio Serie A. We are putting football back at the center of our project; when we travel around the world, we are known as Serie A or as Italian football. We wanted to change the name because it was too long.”
