Spezia have reached Serie A for the first time in history and follow Benevento and Crotone despite Thursday’s 1-0 defeat to Frosinone in the Serie B play-off.
The Ligurians lost 1-0 against Frosinone but it was enough to take them to the top flight after the 1-0 win at the Benito Stirpe last Saturday.
Benevento, Crotone, & now Spezia are officially the 3⃣ teams PROMOTED from Serie B, heading up to Serie A

However, Spezia was promoted on the tiebreaker rule of having finished higher in the table in the regular season. Spezia finished third and Frosinone eighth.
Spezia was founded in 1906 and last played in Italy’s first division in the 1920s, before the Serie A was formed.
The team is based in La Spezia, a city along Italy’s northwestern coast with a population of less than 100,000.
