By June 4, 2024, clubs must submit applications to participate in the 2024/2025 Serie A season to the Lega Nazionale Professionisti Serie A via certified email. Applications must include national participation qualifications and a declaration committing clubs to abstain from joining unsanctioned competitions not recognized by FIFA, UEFA, or the Italian Football Federation (FIGC).

Non-compliance will result in severe penalties, including exclusion from the 2024/2025 Serie A season. This ban effectively prevents Italian clubs from participating in unauthorized tournaments, such as the European Super League.

The FIGC's stance underscores the tension between traditional governing bodies and breakaway initiatives. By enforcing these rules, the FIGC aims to protect the integrity of national leagues and align with FIFA and UEFA guidelines.

This decision forces clubs to choose between remaining within the traditional football ecosystem or facing significant consequences for joining unsanctioned competitions. The FIGC's regulations signal a firm commitment to the established football structure and its principles, with severe repercussions for non-compliance.
