Stats BEFORE the game

Atalanta has faced Juventus in the Coppa Italia and has lost five out of their last six encounters (with one draw), including the last two finals: 1-2 in Reggio Emilia on May 19, 2021, and 0-1 in Rome on May 15, 2024.

However, Atalanta has only lost once in their last ten home matches against Juventus in the Coppa Italia (with four wins and five draws), having won the latest match 3-0 on January 30, 2019, during the quarter-finals. This was also the last time the Bianconeri played an away quarter-final in this competition.

In all competitions, Atalanta has secured victories in three of their last four home matches, maintaining a clean sheet in each (with one loss), matching the number of wins with clean sheets from their previous 24 home games (which included eight wins, nine draws, and seven losses).

Juventus stands out as the only team that has consistently advanced to at least the round of 16 in the last 19 seasons of the Coppa Italia (since 2007/08). Yet, in the quarter-finals, the Bianconeri have only been eliminated once in the last six attempts, the latest being against Empoli on February 26, 2025.

Recently, Juventus has suffered losses in their last two away matches in the Coppa Italia (against Inter in 2023 and Lazio in 2024, both during the semi-finals) and could face three consecutive away defeats in the competition for only the second time in their history, the first instance occurring between June and July 1972.

Stats BEFORE the game

Inter has triumphed in 12 of their last 13 official encounters with Torino (1 draw) – all in Serie A – winning the last seven in a row; the Nerazzurri have never managed to secure eight straight wins against the Granata in all competitions (since 1929/30), with a previous streak of seven occurring between 2002 and 2008.

Torino’s most recent win over Inter in an official match was over seven years ago, on January 27, 2019, in Serie A: a 1-0 victory thanks to a goal from Armando Izzo, while Walter Mazzarri was the coach at the Olimpico Grande Torino.

Inter and Torino are set to face each other again in a match outside of Serie A for the first time in 35 years, since January 23, 1991, in the Coppa Italia round of 16.  The Granata, under coach Emiliano Mondonico, knocked out the Nerazzurri, managed by Giovanni Trapattoni, in that round with a 1-0 home win in the second leg, after losing 2-1 away in the first leg.

This will mark the 16th encounter between Inter and Torino in the Coppa Italia: the Granata currently lead with eight victories to five, alongside two draws – only against Milan (10) have the Granata secured more wins in the tournament than against the Nerazzurri (eight, equal to their tally against Roma).

After suffering defeats in their first two home matches in the Coppa Italia against Torino (from 1939 to 1968), Inter has since won all five of their following home games against the Granata in the tournament, netting eight goals and allowing just one.

In the last six editions of the Coppa Italia (since 2019/20), Inter has reached the semi-finals five times; they only missed out on the penultimate stage in 2023/24, when Bologna eliminated them in the round of 16. Torino could advance to the Coppa Italia semi-finals for the first time since 1993/94; indeed, in the last four editions where they reached the quarter-finals, the Granata were eliminated at this stage (2022/23 against Fiorentina, 2019/20 against Milan, 2017/18 against Juventus, and 2008/09 against Lazio).

Italian Serie A
  ⚪️🔵   Lazio 3 – 2 Genoa  🔴🔵 

Lazio triumphed at the Olimpico di Roma Stadium, defeating Genoa. With this victory, Lazio returns to form, accumulating 32 points, while Genoa remains at 23.  Goals: 56′ Pedro(pen) (L), 62′ PenKenneth Taylor (L), 67′ Ruslan Malinovskyi (pen)(G), 75′ Vitinha (G), 90″10′ Danilo Cataldi (pen)(L).   Looking ahead, Lazio will face Juventus in their next match, while Genoa will host Napoli.

 ⚫️🔵   Pisa 1 – 3 Sassuolo  ⚫️🟢

Pisa experienced a setback at the Arena Garibaldi – Stadio Romeo Anconetani.  In the league standings, Pisa is still at the bottom with only 14 points. On a positive note, Sassuolo has caught up to Udinese, now positioned in 10th place with 29 points. Domenico Berardi was clearly the star of the match, scoring a goal and contributing to Caracciolo’s own goal. Pisa did manage to narrow the gap with a goal from Aebischer. Sassuolo ultimately clinched their victory with a third goal from Koné. The upcoming matches will see Verona going up against Pisa and Sassuolo facing Inter.

🔵   Napoli 2 – 1 Fiorentina 💜⚜️

Napoli secured a victory at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium. After facing defeats against Juventus and Chelsea, Napoli made a strong comeback, while Fiorentina experienced their third straight loss across both the league and the Coppa Italia. Currently, Napoli holds 46 points in the standings, placing them just one point behind second-placed AC Milan and six points behind the league leaders, Inter. They also have a three and four-point lead over Roma and Juventus, respectively. In contrast, Fiorentina remains at 17 points, sitting in third-to-last position on the table. Looking ahead, Napoli is set to face Genoa at Marassi, while Fiorentina will take on Torino at the Franchi stadium.

🔴🔵   Cagliari 4 – 0 Hellas Verona  🟡🔵    

Cagliari triumphed at the Unipol Domus. They secured a convincing 4-0 victory over Hellas Verona, effectively ensuring their safety three months ahead of time. In contrast, Verona finds itself in a dire situation. Cagliari has now accumulated 28 points. Meanwhile, Verona is struggling at the bottom of the table with only 14 points and a troubling goal difference of -23. Despite a hopeful beginning, Verona fell behind by two goals in the first half, thanks to strikes from Mazzitelli and Kilicsoy, and completely fell apart in the second half following Sarr’s red card. In the closing moments, substitutes Sulemana and Idrissi only added to the troubles of the yellow and blue team.

🐂  Torino  1  – 0 Lecce  🟡🔴 

A moment of joy for Torino fans as they triumphed at the Olimpico di Torino Stadium. With this victory, Torino secures 3 points in the overall standings, reaching 26 points, while Lecce’s position remains the same. Although supporters continue to protest due to the poor performance this season, today they have a reason to celebrate. Three important points. Baroni’s and Di Francesco’s teams will face off against Fiorentina and Udinese in the next matchday, respectively.

 ⚪️🔵    Como 0 – 0 Atalanta ⚫️🔵      

Wow, so much unfolded in this game.   After all the anticipation, the Lombardy derby between Como and Atalanta ended without any goals, making it a tense and thrilling encounter. With this result, Como now has 41 points, while Atalanta reaches 36. It was definitely a match to forget for Atalanta. Can you believe they played with only 10 players from the 8th minute?! Ahnor received a direct red card.  In the 98th minute, Carnesecchi made a crucial save against a penalty taken by Nico Paz. Overall, we could say that this draw is disappointing for Como, considering they had an extra player for nearly the entire match.

  🩶❤️   Cremonese  0 – 2 Inter  ⚫️🔵   

Inter is leading the Serie A after their victory at the Giovanni Zini Stadium in Cremona. They continue their winning streak with a solid 2-0 win.  Goals from Lautaro and Zielinski in the first half secured the win. Inter now has 55 points, while Cremonese remains at 23. The excitement is all for Inter, marking their tenth win in the last eleven matches. On the other hand, Cremonese has faced their sixth defeat in the last nine games and has gone four matches without scoring. A standout moment from the match was Inter Captain Lautaro Martínez becoming the sole top scorer in the league with 13 goals. Lautaro scored a goal and dedicated it to his daughter, who is celebrating her birthday.

🟡🔵  Parma 1 – 4 Juventus  ⚪️⚫️ 

Juventus triumphed at the Ennio Tardini Stadium. It was practically a goal fest! In simple terms, Juventus secured a convincing 4-1 victory, highlighted by a brace from Bremer along with goals from Weston McKennie and Jonathan David. The only hiccups for Juventus were an own goal by Andrea Cambiaso and the withdrawal of Kenan Yildiz, who asked to be substituted at the end of the first half due to struggling with his form. The Old Lady responded to Inter’s win, as Chivu’s team claimed victory away against Cremonese with goals from Lautaro and Zielinski. This marks Parma’s second consecutive defeat following their loss to Atalanta. Juventus now sits in fourth place in the league standings, trailing Napoli by 1 point and Roma by 2 points. Meanwhile, Parma remains in 16th place with 23 points, 6 points clear of the relegation zone.

⚪️⚫️ Udinese 1 – 0 Roma  🟡🔴 

Udinese secured a 1-0 victory over Roma with a free-kick from Ekkelenkamp early in the second half. This win was well-deserved for the Friulian team, who outperformed Gasperini’s squad, which, despite being competitive, struggled with creativity and effectiveness in their offensive play. As a result, Roma has fallen out of the Champions League spots, now surpassed by Juventus.

  🔴🔵   Bologna  0 – 3 AC Milan 🔴⚫️     

Milan secured a 3-0 victory over Bologna, narrowing the gap to Inter to 5 points while increasing their lead over Roma. Milan now has 50 points, whereas Bologna remains at 30 points. The goals came from Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Christopher Nkunku via a penalty, and Adrien Rabiot. Milan responded well to Inter’s win, keeping the Scudetto race alive.  Milan’s unbeaten streak continues, as they have not suffered a loss since the season’s opening match.   The Rossoneri have achieved this milestone for only the third time in the three-point win era.

Understanding the UEFA Champions League Structure

According to UEFA.com, starting this season, the rankings from the league phase will also play a crucial role in determining the seeding for the quarter-finals and semi-finals, in addition to the existing seeding for the knockout phase play-offs and the round of 16, as was the case last season.

In this context, the teams that are seeded for the quarter-finals (i.e., those that finish in the top four at the conclusion of the league phase) will benefit from playing the second leg of their quarter-final match at home, provided they advance that far.

Moreover, the teams seeded for the semi-finals (i.e., those that finish first and second at the end of the league phase) will also have the advantage of hosting the second leg of their semi-final match at home if they reach that level. However, if a seeded team is defeated in any round, the team that eliminates them will inherit their seeding position.

👉 Champions League Verdicts
Inter, what a disappointment: they win but go to the playoffs with Juve and Atalanta, Napoli eliminated

Bitter Cup

Inter, Dimarco and Diouf conquer Dortmund
Now it’s Bodo or Mourinho’s Benfica

Atalanta, disappointment for the Goddess against St. Gilloise
Playoff against Borussia or Olympiacos

Juventus, only a draw for the Lady in Monte Carlo
Galatasaray or Bruges await them

Napoli, Vergara and Hojlund give the Azzurri false hope
Joao Pedro is superb and Chelsea goes through

👉De Zerbi’s Marseille are out
Real and PSG are in the playoffs
The draw is tomorrow

👉Australia: Musetti retires at a crucial moment
Sinner travolge anche Shelton
Domani che sfida con Djokovic

👉The kickoff starts in Bulgaria on May 8th
100 days to go until the Giro
Italy turns pink

Front Page La Gazzetta dello Sport, Thursday 29 January 2026

Today’s Front Page Corriere dello Sport, Thursday 29 January 2026

👉Champions League disappointment
Chivu wins in Dortmund (0-2) and narrowly misses the round of 16: now it’s Benfica (coached by Mourinho) or Bodo
Triple playoff

Inter, Juve, and Atalanta in the playoffs
Napoli eliminated

Dimarco and Diouf score, but the effort isn’t enough.
Spalletti, only a 0-0 draw at Monaco: they’ll face Bruges or Galatasaray.
Atalanta loses in Belgium (1-0): the danger is Borussia Dortmund
Conte, from a great dream to a 2-3 defeat against Chelsea.

👉Incredible Mourinho: He reaches the playoffs in the 98th minute with a header goal from goalkeeper Trubin.

👉Pana (21) is there.
Ferguson is out.
Gasp’s anxiety: a Roma team reduced to half its strength.

👉Napoli plays against Maccabi at 9 PM.
Bologna’s dilemma is Holm.

👉A tribute to the victims of Crans-Montana
Azzurre tears

Front Page Corriere dello Sport, Thursday 29 January 2026

Today’s Front Page Tutto Sport, Thursday 29 January 2026

👉A 0-0 draw in Monaco, without taking any risks.
Tomorrow’s playoff draw: either Brugge or Galatasaray.
Juve, now Osi?

Osimhen, a rival in many matches with Napoli and former striker under Spalletti, is the star of the Turkish team: the Belgians have Stankovic Jr.
In the round of 16, they would then face Liverpool or Tottenham.
The “reserves” are disappointing, from now on something more is needed: on the field and in the transfer market. It’s Kolo Muani’s day.

👉Napoli eliminated. Atalanta defeated: no round of 16.
Only Inter wins, but they go to the play-offs.
And there’s the risk of facing Mourinho.

Dimarco and Diouf secure the win in Dortmund, but Inter still miss out on the last eight: now it’s Benfica or Bodo. Chelsea stage a comeback at the Maradona stadium, Conte is eliminated. Atalanta lose in Belgium: Olympiacos or Borussia in the play-offs.

👉Horrible defense, desperate search for reinforcements
Kumbulla, Kapuadi…
Torino’s confusion

New and old leads, frantic negotiations, but with 5 days left until the transfer window closes, only Tchoca has arrived. Yet the shortcomings have been known for months.

👉Melbourne: fate smiles on Sinner, setting up a match against Djokovic
Go Jannik, avenge Muso’s tears!

Italian Serie A
  ⚫️🔵  Pisa 1 – 1 Atalanta   ⚫️🔵

Pisa and Atalanta concluded with a draw at the Arena Garibaldi – Stadio Romeo Anconetani.  Pisa is in urgent need of points to steer clear of relegation and has not secured a win since November 7th, when they achieved a 1-0 victory at home against Cremonese. A fantastic debut for Pisa’s Rafiu Durosinmi, who netted the equalizing goal.  Meanwhile, Palladino’s soaring Atalanta is enjoying a strong run in the league, with three consecutive wins and five victories in their last six games, as they strive to strengthen their position in the European qualification zone.

⚪️⚫️   Udinese 0 – 1 Inter  ⚫️🔵

Inter triumphed at the Bluenergy Stadium, defeating Udinese. Inter achieved a significant victory. The match concluded with a 1-0 score, thanks to Lautaro Martinez’s goal at the 20-minute mark, marking his eleventh goal of the season. These three vital points boost Chivu’s team to 49 points, placing them 6 points ahead of Milan, who are set to play tomorrow at San Siro against Lecce, and 9 points ahead of Napoli, who will face Sassuolo at the ‘Maradona’. This marks Udinese’s second loss of 2026 under Runjaic, leaving them in 10th place with 26 points.

🔵   Napoli 1 – 0 Sassuolo ⚫️🟢

Napoli-Sassuolo concludes with a score of 1-0 at the Maradona stadium in Naples. Antonio Conte’s squad answered Cristian Chivu’s Inter and maintained their position alongside the Nerazzurri, thanks to a decisive goal from Stanislav Lobotka, who made the difference in the 7th minute of the first half. This marks a return to winning ways for the Neapolitan side, who earned three points in front of their home fans, moving past the disappointing draw with Parma. Napoli has now accumulated 43 points.

🔴🔵  Cagliari 1 – 0 Juventus  ⚪️⚫️

Cagliari achieved a significant victory by defeating Juventus at the Unipol Domus. This loss is a tough blow for Juventus, as they struggled to regain momentum in the Scudetto race, suffering a 1-0 defeat on the road. The Sardinians had not triumphed over Juve since July 29, 2020, enduring 10 matches with 8 losses and 2 draws during the Covid-19 pandemic. The key takeaway is that while Spalletti’s team controlled possession, they were unable to penetrate Pisacane’s defense. The celebration at the Unipol Domus erupted thanks to a goal from Luca Mazzitelli, who turned around a rough start to 2026 that included two losses and a draw. In the 65th minute, Mazzitelli found the net with a right-footed shot from the center of the box into the bottom right corner, assisted by Gianluca Gaetano’s cross.

🟡🔵    Parma 0 – 0 Genoa  🔴🔵     

Parma and Genoa concluded with a scoreless draw at the Ennio Tardini Stadium. The teams each earned one point from the match. Genoa controlled the first half, whereas Parma improved in the second half. Corvi triumphed in his matchup against Colombo

🔴🔵   Bologna 1 – 2 Fiorentina  ⚜️ 

Fiorentina triumphed at the Artemio Franchi Stadium. This victory was particularly meaningful as Fiorentina overcame Bologna on the day dedicated to remembering Rocco Commisso, with goals from Rolando Mandragora and Roberto Piccinini. Giovanni Fabbian netted a goal for the home side. With this win, Fiorentina levels up with Lecce, as both teams now have 17 points. Bologna, on the other hand, stays at 30 points, unable to surpass Atalanta.

 🐂      Torino 0 – 2 AS Roma  🟡🔴  

Torino and Roma meet once more, just five days after their Coppa Italia round of 16 clash, which Torino triumphed in with a score of 3-2 at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome. The only changes for this Serie A matchday 21 encounter are the venue and time. Roma has secured 42 points after defeating Torino, while Torino remains at 23 points.

🔴⚫️   AC Milan 1 – 0 Lecce  🟡🔴  

The competition for the Scudetto is heating up. Currently, it’s a close contest between Inter, who have 49 points, and AC Milan, sitting at 46 points. Milan triumphed over Lecce at San Siro. The game was ultimately settled by a slim margin, thanks to the new player Fullkrug, who, shortly after entering the match, skillfully converted a perfect assist from Leao.

🩶❤️   Cremonese 0 – 0 Hellas Verona  🟡🔵     

Cremonese and Hellas Verona concluded with a goalless draw at the Giovanni Zini Stadium.  As a result, Cremonese now shares 11th place with Sassuolo, both having 23 points. Nicola’s squad has established a 6-point cushion above the relegation zone. Meanwhile, Verona remains at the bottom, tied with Pisa, with only 14 points. Both Cremonese and Verona have made slight improvements in their league standings, but it is Hellas Verona that has the most to lament. Zanetti’s side performed significantly better in the second half, yet they were unable to find the winning goal.

  ⚪️🔵   Lazio 0 – 3 Como ⚪️🔵      

A significant setback for Lazio! Como achieved a 3-0 win at the Olimpico stadium.  Como delivered a harsh lesson to Lazio with two goals from Paz and one from Baturina. Lazio is still at 28 points, sitting in 9th place. The pressure is mounting for Lazio to begin accumulating points to ascend into the European Zone. Cremonese has gathered 23 points, placing them in 12th position.

FIFA World Cup 26’s official match ball unveiled: TRIONDA

Sticky2026 FIFA World Cup, History and facts 2026

FIFA World Cup 26’s official match ball unveiled: TRIONDA

The FIFA World Cup 26™ has reached a major milestone with the introduction of adidas TRIONDA, the tournament’s official match ball. Its name, TRIONDA, translates from Spanish as “three waves” and celebrates the historic collaboration of the three host countries: Canada, Mexico, and the United States.

The ball features a striking palette of red, green, and blue, representing each of the co-hosts. Its innovative four-panel structure with flowing geometry mimics the wave patterns referenced in the name. In the center, these panels form a triangular shape, symbolizing the union of the three nations for the first time in World Cup history.

Adding to its visual appeal, TRIONDA displays icons for each country: a maple leaf for Canada, an eagle for Mexico, and a star for the United States. Gold accents on the ball honor the FIFA World Cup Trophy, highlighting the significance of the competition’s global stage.

Advanced technology and performance features

TRIONDA incorporates several technological upgrades to enhance match performance. The deep seams within the four-panel design improve flight stability by evenly distributing drag as the ball moves through the air. This ensures more predictable trajectories during passes and shots.

Embossed icons, visible only when closely examined, enhance grip for players, especially in wet or humid conditions. The construction focuses on maintaining optimal control, allowing for precise striking, dribbling, and passing.

Connected ball technology also provides detailed tracking of each movement, assisting referees and match officials in monitoring play. This addition reflects the ongoing integration of technology into the sport to support fairness and accuracy.

Build-up to the World Cup and fan engagement

The launch of TRIONDA comes as excitement builds toward the final draw and the start of the tournament. Recent announcements have included the unveiling of the official mascots and confirmation that FIFA will donate USD 1 from each ticket sold to the FIFA Global Citizen Education Fund.

Fan engagement has been strong, with over 4.5 million supporters from 216 countries participating in the Visa Presale Draw, the first phase of ticket distribution for the highly anticipated event.

FIFA President Gianni Infantino expressed his enthusiasm, describing TRIONDA as “another iconic FIFA World Cup ball” and praising adidas for capturing the unity and passion of the host nations. He added that he looks forward to seeing the ball in action on the pitch as the tournament countdown continues.

TRIONDA is now available for purchase through official FIFA and Adidas websites, allowing fans to own a piece of the World Cup ahead of the tournament.

World Cup mascots: Maple, Zayu, and Clutch take center stage

StickyHistory and facts 2026

Is a global football celebration complete without a mascot? For the 2026 edition, the answer comes in threes.

With the tournament expanding to 48 nations, the event will also feature three mascots for the three co-hosts. Each one embodies its country’s identity while playing its own special role on the pitch.

Canada is represented by a moose, Mexico by a jaguar, and the United States by a bald eagle. Together, Maple, Zayu, and Clutch aim to connect culture, tradition, and sport.

Maple the goalkeeper of Canada

Maple, wearing the number 1 shirt, is a moose symbolizing Canadian heritage. His outfit and name highlight some of the country’s most recognizable elements.

According to the description, Maple roams from coast to coast, uniting communities while reflecting the culture of the nation.

While Canada’s men’s team is better known for attack-minded players such as Alphonso Davies and Jonathan David, Maple’s antlers suggest he can cover plenty of space at the back.

Zayu the forward from Mexico

Mexico’s representative is Zayu, a jaguar in the number 9 jersey. Found mainly in the southern regions, the animal carries deep significance for ancient cultures of the country.

Zayu embodies celebration, from cuisine and dance to tradition, creating bonds that stretch beyond borders. His presence mirrors the country’s passion and pride.

Just like legendary strikers such as Javier Hernández, Cuauhtémoc Blanco, and Raúl Jiménez, Zayu leads the line with flair.

Clutch the playmaker of the United States

Clutch, a bald eagle with the number 10, fills the role of midfield organizer. The character is tied to exploration, adventure, and optimism, soaring across the vast United States while embracing different communities and games.

For American supporters, that shirt is strongly linked with Christian Pulisic, who carries the nation’s hopes heading into 2026. Clutch, too, is cast as the creative force in the middle of the field.

Looking back at past mascots

Mascots became a feature of the men’s World Cup in 1966, when England introduced World Cup Willie, a lion in a Union Jack shirt. Each edition since has created a character inspired by its host nation.

Juanito, a sombrero-wearing boy, was unveiled in Mexico in 1970, while West Germany brought Tip and Tap, two children in uniform, for 1974. Argentina presented Gauchito in 1978, a cartoon gaucho, and Spain followed with Naranjito, a cheerful orange, in 1982.

Mexico hosted again in 1986 with Pique, a jalapeño in traditional attire. Italy introduced the abstract figure Ciao in 1990, and the United States revealed Striker the dog in 1994. France continued in 1998 with Footix, a rooster in national colors.

South Korea and Japan, the first co-hosts, created Ato, Kaz, and Nik in 2002, futuristic figures known as Spheriks. Germany introduced Goleo VI and his talking football Pille in 2006. South Africa had Zakumi the leopard in 2010, and Brazil brought Fuleco the armadillo in 2014.

Russia’s choice in 2018 was Zabivaka the wolf, while Qatar presented La’eeb in 2022, a playful character resembling a traditional headpiece.

How the new 48-team 2026 World Cup works

StickyHistory and facts 2026

The 2026 edition will be larger than anything the competition has seen before.

Previous tournaments from 1998 to 2022 included 32 nations and 64 fixtures in total. This time, the event expands to 48 participants and 104 matches. Merely trimming the field to 32 sides will already require 72 fixtures, which is eight more than the entire schedule of a 32-team format.

Although three countries are co-hosting, the United States will stage far more than any other nation has ever managed in a single competition. It will host 14 more fixtures than the previous record and 26 more than it did when the event came to its soil in 1994.

The first 27 days of action, from the curtain raiser through the last-32 round, will feature 96 contests without a single rest day. Only one day will stage a solitary clash, and two other days will include two fixtures. All the remaining 24 days will deliver between three and six matches.

By the final week of the group stage, the calendar will be jam-packed. From June 24 to 27, 18 games will be played—more than the entire total of the 1934 edition, which only had 17.

The abandoned plan of three-team groups

Originally, FIFA had considered creating 16 trios instead of 12 groups of four.

That plan would have produced 80 fixtures in total, noticeably fewer than 104. It would also have been simpler to follow, with the two best teams moving straight into the round of 32 to face each other in a clear bracket.

However, every team would only have been assured two matches, not three. More importantly, the structure would have been vulnerable to manipulation. With three-team groups, only three fixtures could be played, and no two at the same time. That meant one team would always complete its games earlier, leaving the final fixture open to scenarios where both sides knew exactly what outcome would secure progress.

The risk of collusion across 16 groups proved too significant, and the plan was eventually dropped despite its more compact design.

The adopted system of 12 groups of four

Instead, the competition will use 12 sections of four, echoing the approach of earlier tournaments such as the 1986, 1990, and 1994 World Cups, or more recent 24-team European Championships.

The formula is straightforward: the top two from each group advance, and they are joined by the eight best third-placed nations to complete the last 32.

It is less tidy than the three-team plan, but it ensures fairness and avoids the controversies that might have arisen otherwise.

The expanded knockout rounds

Once the field has been reduced to 32, the knockout journey follows a familiar path. The difference is simply scale.

Group winners will mostly be paired against third-placed finishers, although four of them will meet runners-up. Meanwhile, the remaining runners-up will be matched against each other.

From there, the tournament progresses in the traditional order: round of 16, quarter-finals, semi-finals, and the final.

For the first time, the eventual champion will need to play eight matches rather than seven, adding one extra step on the road to lifting the trophy.

Here are all the important dates, the teams competing in the initial rounds, when the major teams will join, and the final date.

When does the 2025/26 Coppa Italia Frecciarossa commence?

The Coppa Italia for the 2025/26 season will kick off on Friday, August 9, beginning with the preliminary round featuring the match between Virtus Entella and Ternana.

On Saturday, August 10, three exciting matches are scheduled:
  • Padova vs. L.R. Vicenza
  • Pescara vs. Rimini
  • Avellino vs. Audace Cerignola
From August 15 to 18, the Serie B teams along with the first teams from Enilive Serie A will compete in the thirty-second finals.

The event kicks off on Friday the 15th at 18:00 with Empoli taking on Reggiana, and the final match will feature Torino against Modena, set for Monday the 18th at 21:15. Additionally, it’s exciting to note Milan’s debut, as they will compete against Bari at the Meazza on Sunday, August 17th at 21:15.

Coppa Italia Frecciarossa 2025/26 Schedule and key dates
  • Preliminary round: August 9-10, 2025
  • Thirty-second finals: August 15-18, 2025
  • Sixteenth finals: starting September 24, 2025
  • Round of 16: December 3-17, 2025
  • Quarter-finals: February 4-11, 2026
  • Semi-finals (first leg and second leg): March – April 2026
  • Final: May 13, 2026
When do the Enilive Serie A seeds enter?

The 8 seeds will enter the tournament in December, starting from the round of 16:

  • Bologna
  • Napoli
  • Inter
  • Atalanta
  • Juventus
  • Roma
  • Fiorentina
  • Lazio
Possible derbies and crossovers in the draw

One of the main novelties of the new calendar is that potential derbies between Serie A teams (Inter-Milan, Roma-Lazio or Juventus-Torino) can only occur in the final, unlike what happened in the last edition when the Milan derby was played in the semi-finals.

The reigning champions Bologna, winners of the last edition against Milan, could start from the round of 16 with an evocative Emilian derby against Parma, with a possible challenge to the Rossoneri in the quarterfinals. Another possible crossover between two recent former finalists is that between Juventus and Atalanta – Juventus won in the 2023/24 edition – which could also take place in the quarterfinals.

Coppa Italia Frecciarossa 2025/26 final: when is it played?

The final of the Coppa Italia Frecciarossa 2025/26 will be held at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome on Wednesday 13 May 2026.

New UEFA Europa League Format

The new Europa League format features a significant alteration in the group stage, transitioning into a single 36-team League stage. Every team will compete against eight different opponents (four at home, four away). The top eight teams will progress directly to the round of 16, while teams ranking from ninth to 24th will compete in knockout round play-offs. The winners of these play-offs will advance to the last 16. Subsequently, the competition will follow a straight knockout format.
