During July and early August 2026, several Italian amateur football and futsal clubs announced key developments ahead of the new season. In Serie D, AC Afragolese secured federation approval to compete, while FC Turris added defender Frank Amoabeng to its roster. A few weeks later, futsal clubs preparing for the Serie A2 competition reported promotions, mergers and extensive player recruitment: Cetraro earned promotion and overhauled its squad with new goalkeepers and outfield signings; Nuova Peloro merged with a football school and signed midfielder Roberto Assenzio; Cadì Antincendi confirmed forward Christian Melito and emphasized youth development. Together the snapshots illustrate a broader pattern of lower‑division Italian clubs finalising league participation and strengthening squads across both football and futsal ahead of the 2026‑27 season.
