Serie A is regarded as one of the best leagues globally and is often depicted as the most tactical leagues. It is was the world’s strongest national league in 2020 according to IFFHS. It is ranked third among European leagues according to UEFA’s league coefficient, behind La Liga and the Premier League. This was based on the performance of Italian clubs in the Champions League and the Europa League during the previous five years. Serie A led the UEFA ranking from 1986 to 1988 and from 1990 to 1999.
In its current format, the Italian Football Championship was revised from having regional and interregional rounds, to a single-tier league from the 1929–30 season onwards. The championship titles won before 1929 are officially recognised by FIGC with the same weighting as titles that were subsequently awarded. Similarly, the 1945–46 season, when the round-robin was suspended and the league was played over two geographical groups due to the ravages of WWII, is not statistically considered, even if its title is fully official.
FAMOUS CLUBS
The league hosts three of the world’s most famous clubs as Juventus, Milan and Internazionale. More players have won Ballon d’Or while playing in Serie A than any league globally other than La Liga.

Juventus, Milan and Inter, along with Lazio, Fiorentina, Roma and Napoli, are known as the Seven Sisters of Italian football.
