111th season of top-tier Italian football
Football league season
The 2012–13 Serie A (known as the Serie A TIM for sponsorship reasons) was the 111th season of top-tier Italian football , the 81st in a round-robin tournament , and the 3rd since its organization under a league committee separate from Serie B . It began on 25 August 2012 and ended on 19 May 2013.[ 5] Juventus were the defending champions.
A total of 20 teams contested the league, comprising 17 sides from the 2011–12 season and three promoted from the 2011–12 Serie B . As in the previous years, Nike provided the official ball for all matches, with a new Nike Maxim Serie A model to be used throughout the season for all matches.[ 6]
On 21 August 2012, FIGC allowed Serie A teams to have up to 12 substitution players on the bench for each game.[ 7] [ 8]
Events
The 2012–13 season features the return of Pescara , Torino , and Sampdoria , who were promoted back to Serie A after nineteen, three, and one years respectively. It is also Cagliari 's first season out of Stadio Sant'Elia after more than 40 years, following its closure due to safety issues; as a replacement, the team agreed to renovate the Stadio Is Arenas located in Quartu Sant'Elena , in order to use it as its home venue for this season (Cagliari has ongoing plans to build its own brand-new stadium in the next few years).[ 9] The fixtures were presented on 26 July in a lavish hour-long televised ceremony.
