On June 13, the Italian Football Federation announced the seeding for the 2024/25 Serie A Cup, with all the powerhouse teams securing their positions. Defending champions Juventus landed a favorable draw, while the other half of the bracket could feature “derby” clashes.
Juventus, Inter Milan, AC Milan, Roma, Lazio, Napoli, Atalanta, and Bologna, as seeded teams, will enter the competition from the round of 16. Juventus, as the title holders, took the top spot in the upper half. If all goes well, they will face Fiorentina in the quarterfinals and then await the winner of Bologna versus Atalanta in the semis.
The lower half of the bracket promises more intense battles, with potential quarterfinal matchups being AC Milan against Roma and Lazio against Inter Milan. This sets the stage for a possible Milan Derby or Rome Derby in the lower half’s semifinals. Whichever team emerges from this section will have had a tough journey.
In terms of history, Juventus is the most successful team in the Coppa Italia, having lifted the trophy 15 times. Inter Milan and Roma, tied for second place, have each won it nine times. Interestingly, AC Milan, renowned both domestically and internationally with seven UEFA Champions League titles, has only claimed the Italian Cup five times, with their last triumph dating back to 2003.
