@lucamoletta @CittadellaUSA @HarriLaine @PEFIORENTINA 😂😭

[Modena FC English @Modena_FC_En]

I'm back in Modena!

Has anyone been to watch Cittadella Vis Modena play? What is the stadium like? Price? Worth going?

[Modena FC English @Modena_FC_En]

@PEFIORENTINA @CittadellaUSA @lucamoletta @HarriLaine Cittadella Vis Modena, not Cittadella.

They're a small Eccellenza team who play just outside of Modena.

Thank you though!!

@lucamoletta @CittadellaUSA @HarriLaine @PEFIORENTINA This is a different Cittadella but that does look good!

Cittadella Vis Modena, the Eccellenza team who play in San Damaso in Modena.

@PEFIORENTINA @CCalcistica Thanks Peter. I understand a lot more now!

[Modena FC English @Modena_FC_En]

Can someone help me?

What does it actually mean to be a "semi-professional" or "amateur" football club in Italy?

Are all Serie C players full time (ie they don't have other jobs) and all Serie D players part time (ie they are paid to play football but need to have another job)?

[Modena FC English @Modena_FC_En]

@CCalcistica There are 100 clubs down to Serie C and 92 clubs down to League Two (4th level). It makes sense that both countries have a split there.

[Modena FC English @Modena_FC_En]

@CCalcistica You've been so helpful! I really appreciate it. I understand a lot more now.

[Modena FC English @Modena_FC_En]

@CCalcistica The main splits are at level 5 and level 11. Level 5 starts what we call "non-league" but clubs can be full time if they want and some get very big crowds. Level 11 starts "county amateur" and clubs at that level usually don't charge for admission, don't have floodlights, etc...

[Modena FC English @Modena_FC_En]

@CCalcistica In England semi-professional means they get paid for playing football but will have another job. There's no real official split in the leagues between professional / semi-professional / amateur.

@DrewStuds Thank you! That's really useful and makes a lot of sense!
