Overview
- The Italian Football Federation officially denied Brescia Calcio’s application for the 2025/2026 Serie C season on July 3.
- The decision cited the club’s accumulated debts, unpaid wages, unpaid registration fees and failure to lodge the required €350,000 bond.
- The refusal effectively erases 114 years of the club’s history in Italian football.
- Earlier this season a four-point deduction tied to a dubious loan and nonexistent tax credits triggered Brescia’s relegation from Serie B.
- With the team barred from competition, officials have opened talks on a potential merger with neighboring Feralpisalò as the only clear path forward.
