AC Monza

Associazione Calcio Monza operates out of the Lombardy city that shares its name, competing in Serie A during the 2026–27 season. The club calls the Stadio Brianteo home, a venue located in Sesto San Giovanni that seats roughly 17,102 fans. Their journey to the top flight involved decades of instability before a major ownership shift in 2018 brought financial backing from the Fioravanti family.

This new era triggered a rapid ascent through the Italian league system. Monza won the 2023–24 Serie B title to secure their first-ever promotion to the top division. The squad now features a mix of experienced veterans and young talent, with foreign players making up over 60% of the roster as the team aims to establish itself as a permanent fixture in Italian football's elite tier.

The club was established on September 1, 1912, and spent most of its early existence bouncing between the lower tiers of Italian football. For decades, Monza struggled with financial instability and narrowly missed promotions to the top flight. The narrative changed completely after the Fioravanti family acquired the club in 2018, injecting capital and strategic direction into the organization.

Under this new management, the team achieved back-to-back promotions, culminating in winning the 2023–24 Serie B championship. This victory marked the first time in the club's history they reached Serie A. By October 2026, the squad had settled into the top division, recently securing a decisive 4–0 victory over Cagliari at home while facing tough matches against rivals like Inter Milan and Lazio.
