Trenitalia will also continue as Serie A’s official travel partner, collaborating to offer special joint promotions for fans.

Luigi De Siervo, Lega Serie A chief executive stated: “The partnership with Frecciarossa has been synonymous with success, particularly in the renewed Coppa Italia, with record TV ratings and increasingly hard-fought and engaging matches on the pitch, thanks to which we have recorded an increase in the sale of television rights for the competition.”

The partnership began in the 2021-22 season, and the latest renewal is reportedly worth €6 million ($6.5 million) per year, representing an uplift from the previous renewal, worth around €5 million per season.

Before Trenitalia's involvement, the Coppa Italia had been sponsored by drinks giant Coca-Cola.
