About the Serie A quiz

Italian football has long been the home of tactical mastery and great defending, and this free Serie A quiz spans its drama and dynasties. Juventus's nine consecutive titles from 2012 to 2020, Inter ending that run in 2021, the two Milan giants, Roma and Lazio — and Napoli, where Diego Maradona became a god in the late 1980s and where the Scudetto finally returned in 2023.

It covers the eras that made the league. The great AC Milan side of Arrigo Sacchi and then Fabio Capello, unbeaten and untouchable. The defenders Italy produced — Paolo Maldini, Franco Baresi, Alessandro Nesta, Fabio Cannavaro winning the Ballon d'Or. The Calciopoli scandal of 2006 that sent Juventus down. And the modern title races that brought the Scudetto back to Milan and to Naples.

Questions take in champions and managers, famous transfers and the moments that decided seasons — from easy openers about recent winners to hard ones about specific years, scandals and squads. It rewards anyone who's followed Calcio across the decades.

Every answer comes with a short explanation, so the quiz teaches as it tests. Play the free sample below, then the full Serie A bank — free in your browser at balliq.app/play or in the Ball IQ app.
