Overview

  • The FIGC commission refused to grant Brescia a licence for the 2025-26 Serie C season after it failed to meet statutory legal and financial requirements.
  • The club’s president, Massimo Cellino, and managing director, Edoardo Cellino, received six-month bans from the FIGC tribunal for governance breaches.
  • Brescia owed €1.1 million to Serie B as of January 31 and had outstanding wage arrears to players and coaching staff.
  • In May, the team was relegated to the third tier after an eight-point deduction for a series of financial violations.
  • The expulsion marks the first time in the club’s 114-year history that it has lost professional status in Italy.
