As the new season is about to begin.
The 2015–16 Serie A (known as the Serie A TIM for sponsorship reasons) is the 114th season of top-tier Italian football, with the campaign that begins on 22 August 2015 and ends on 15 May 2016.
A total of 20 teams compete in the league: 17 sides from the 2014/15 season and three promoted from the 2014/15 Serie B campaign.
They are listed below alphabetically:
Atalanta, Bologna, Carpi, Chievo, Empoli, Fiorentina, Frosinone, Genoa, Hellas Verona, Internazionale, Juventus, Lazio, Milan, Napoli, Palermo, Roma, Sampdoria, Sassuolo, Torino and Udinese.
On 28 April 2015 Carpi obtained its first historical promotion to Serie A, after debuting in Serie B for only one year last season, becoming the 64th team to participate since the 1929/30 season. On 16 May, Frosinone also earned its first promotion to Serie A, becoming the 65th to participate. On 9 June 2015 Bologna won Serie B play-off, returning to the Serie A after just one year.
This season of Serie A is likely to be the first season to have goal-line technology implemented after severe complaints from various teams' general managers (first Adriano Galliani) in relation to controversial ghost goals during recent seasons of Serie A.
