Lega Serie A: "Serie A gives provides international visibility for Italian football" (E. Simonelli)

"It is the Serie A that attracts the attention of millions of fans, the media and sponsors, and provides international visibility for the entire football movement," said Ezio Simonelli, president of Lega Serie A since 20/12/2024, at the FIGC elective assembly in Rome (ITA) on 03/02/2025.

"By this I mean that the strengthening of the Serie A is essential to ensure the sustainability and growth of all Italian football. Our commitment is therefore to ensure that the Serie A continues to grow to be the engine of this system," added the new president of the Italian professional football league.

"Another crucial issue concerns new stadiums: our football needs modern, functional facilities that meet the expectations of fans and sponsors. The Serie A would like to see a commissioner with full powers," added Ezio Simonelli in his speech, which News Tank Football has reproduced in full below.
