Frosinone Calcio promoted to Serie A
Two promotions in two seasons!
Frosinone Calcio booked their place in Serie A for the first time in club history on Saturday after defeating Crotone 3-1 at the Stadio Matusa, a remarkable achievement given that they had only been promoted to Serie B one year ago.

The promotion means that next season's Serie A will feature two newcomers, as Carpi FC 1909 secured a spot in the top flight of Italian football in April.
Frosinone have back-to-back promotions and will play Serie A next season for first time, like Carpi (65th and 66th team to play in Serie A).

Following a goal from Daniel Ciofani and a brace from Federico Dionisi, supporters flooded the pitch to celebrate Frosinone's promotion. The tiny club hail from a town with a population of under 50,000 and have a Twitter following of less than 5,000, a footballing minnow in every sense of the word.
