AC Monza has been promoted to Serie A for the 2025-26 season, despite suffering a 0-2 loss in the second leg of the playoff against Catanzaro. The aggregate score of 2-2 allowed Monza to secure its place in the top flight due to its third-place finish in the Serie B league stage, which surpassed Catanzaro's fifth-place finish. This promotion is particularly significant as it falls exactly four years after Monza's first-ever ascent to Serie A in 2022 under the ownership of Silvio Berlusconi, a former Italian Prime Minister and media mogul. Berlusconi acquired Monza in 2018 when the club was in Italy’s third tier. Following Monza's relegation to Serie B in 2025, the club was sold to U.S.-based investment firm Beckett Layne Ventures. Monza's ability to bounce back to Serie A after just one season in Serie B reflects the club's competitive spirit and strategic management.
