History

The Scudetto and Coppa Campioni d’Italia are awarded to the winner of Serie A, a professional league competition for football clubs at the top of the Italian football league structure.

A play-off match at a neutral site determines rank if there is a tie for the title, promotion, or qualification to other competitions.
