Television coverage has changed how we see and watch football due to the innovation it has brought to the game. And to make it easier for fans to follow their favourite teams, many changes have been made.

The Italian Serie A, just like other professional football leagues globally, also adopts the short name system to allow for proper identification of clubs during match days.

The essence of the three-letter abbreviation is to allow the names of teams to fit into a small box for the scoreline.

The short name and abbreviation are very important for broadcast as it makes it easier to shorten the names of teams with lengthier names.
