Transfers Synthesis
The recorded movement around Venezia in the summer of 2026 points to active roster change, while the available lists do not establish a complete transfer balance. Arrivals span direct transfers, loans, free-agent entries and returns from loan. The incoming names include players from Italian clubs such as Fiorentina, Vis Pesaro, Lazio and Pescara, alongside additions from Sevilla, KV Mechelen, Zaragoza, Valencia, Wolfsburg and Lech Poznan. Departures show a similarly varied pattern, with transfers to Pescara, Sudtirol, Sporting CP, Parma and Brighton, loans to Avellino, Hellas Verona, Spezia, Sudtirol, Torino and Vitória SC, plus returns to parent clubs. Several movements occurred between 29 June and 12 August, placing the main activity within a concentrated summer window. Because both lists are not exhaustive, they support a description of movement types and timing but not a definitive net change in squad size.
Leagues Venezia has participated in
Venezia’s recorded competition history spans Italy’s league and cup system. Serie B is recorded from 2017 through 2025 and remains among the club’s recent competitions, while Serie A is recorded from 2021 through 2024 and is historical in this dataset. The Coppa Italia appears from 2017 through 2025, and Friendlies Clubs from 2021 through 2025; both have recent participation records. Serie C - Girone A is a historical entry covering 2016 only. These records show a club moving between the top two national divisions, with domestic cup football and friendlies also part of its documented competitive ecosystem.
More about Venezia
Venezia is an Italian football club from Venice in the Veneto region, founded in 1907. Commonly known as Venezia or Venezia FC, it is identified with an orange, black and green palette and a visual identity closely tied to the lagoon city. The winged Lion of Saint Mark is a central civic symbol, while the badge’s sharp V form and references to the iron prow of a gondola connect the club with Venetian imagery.
Home matches are associated with Stadio Pier Luigi Penzo on Sant’Elena at the eastern edge of the Venice lagoon. Opened in 1913, it is the second-oldest continuously used football ground in Italy. Its island location gives the venue an unusual relationship with the city, with access primarily by boat or through a scenic walk in the historic centre rather than by a conventional suburban approach.
Venezia’s peak historical period came in the 1940s. The club won the Coppa Italia in the 1940–41 season and finished third in Serie A in 1941–42. Its longer history also includes repeated reorganizations and refoundings, notably in 2005, 2009 and 2015, creating a story of disruption followed by renewal. Recorded participation spans Serie A, Serie B, Serie C - Girone A and the Coppa Italia, placing Venezia firmly within Italy’s domestic football system.
Modern ownership has involved international groups, including VFC Newco 2020 LLC, alongside a presidential structure associated with financial sustainability and local integration. The contemporary image brings fashion, art history and football design together, while the sporting identity remains grounded in Venice, its symbols and its enduring place in Italian football.
