A court has declared Italian traditional club Brescia Calcio insolvent, ending 114 years of football history. The club, founded in 1911 and once home to stars like Roberto Baggio, Andrea Pirlo, Pep Guardiola, and Luca Toni, had debts of around 20 million euros. The insolvency follows a months-long financial crisis triggered by outstanding salary and social security payments. After securing survival in Serie B in the 2024/25 season, Brescia was relegated to the third division due to a four-point deduction for financial irregularities. Club boss Massimo Cellino then refrained from registering for Serie C, leading the Italian Football Federation to revoke the club's professional license on July 3, 2025. An insolvency administrator will now liquidate the club's assets. A new club, Union Brescia, has been founded in the city, aiming for promotion to Serie B.
