Note: Flags indicate national team as defined under FIFA eligibility rules. Players may hold more than one non-FIFA nationality.

As the governing body of association football, FIFA is responsible for maintaining and implementing the rules that determine whether an association football player is eligible to represent a particular country in officially recognised international competitions and friendly matches. In the 20th century, FIFA allowed a player to represent any national team, as long as the player held citizenship of that country. In 2004, in reaction to the growing trend towards naturalisation of foreign players in some countries, FIFA implemented a significant new ruling that requires a player to demonstrate a "clear connection" to any country they wish to represent. FIFA has used its authority to overturn results of competitive international matches that feature ineligible players.

During the 2007–08 season, Associazione Calcio Milan played its 74th Serie A season in the club's existence. Milan competed in Serie A, finishing fifth and failing to qualify for the UEFA Champions League for the first time since 2001–02, as well as in the Coppa Italia and the UEFA Champions League, being knocked out in the round of 16 in both competitions. As winners of the 2006–07 UEFA Champions League Milan competed in the UEFA Super Cup and the FIFA Club World Cup, winning both competitions.

During the 2008–09 season, Milan played its 75th Serie A season in the club's existence.

The 1999–2000 season was Società Sportiva Lazio's 100th season since the club's existence and their 12th consecutive in the top division of Italian football. In this season, Lazio won their second Scudetto of their history, and their third Coppa Italia, completing an historical double.

Società Sportiva Lazio finished second in Serie A, and won the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup and Supercoppa Italiana.

Associazione Calcio Milan had a season to forget in 2001–02, when the squad continued to fall short compared to the very best Italian clubs. It finished fourth in the league, which qualified it for the UEFA Champions League, thanks to a strong conclusion to the season, holding off Chievo, Lazio and Bologna. The poor start to the season had led to the early dismissal of newly appointed manager Fatih Terim, who was replaced by Carlo Ancelotti on 5 November 2001.

2002–03 A.C. Milan season

The 2002–03 season saw great success for Associazione Calcio Milan. Milan won both the Coppa Italia and the Champions League, defeating Juventus on penalties after a 0–0 draw.

Associazione Calcio Milan managed to claim its first league title for five seasons, following an impressive display of offensive and defensive skills. Arguably, this was at the pinnacle of Carlo Ancelotti's Milan helm, since the side proved it had the ability to last for the whole season.

The 2004–05 season was Juventus Football Club's 107th in existence and 103rd consecutive season in the top flight of Italian football. Juventus won the league title for the 28th time in this season, however, in the following year's Calciopoli stripped Juventus of this title and sent them to Serie B.

Juventus Football Club finished second in Serie A and regained the European Cup trophy after 11 years, winning the Champions League final against Ajax 4–2 on penalties in Rome. Juventus also won the Supercoppa Italiana in the late summer of 1995, before going on to finish second in the league. Following the Champions League title, strikers Gianluca Vialli and Fabrizio Ravanelli were sold to Chelsea and Middlesbrough, respectively. The club also dropped Pietro Vierchowod, Paulo Sousa and Massimo Carrera. Instead, Juventus decided to sign playmaker Zinedine Zidane from Bordeaux, along with young striker Christian Vieri, who signed from Atalanta.

During the 1995–96 Italian football season, F.C. Internazionale Milano competed in Serie A.

Juventus Football Club won the domestic title and reached a second consecutive Champions League final, where Karl-Heinz Riedle scored twice for Borussia Dortmund in a 3–1 defeat of Juventus.

The 1996–97 season was Parma Associazione Calcio's seventh consecutive season in Serie A. The team competed in Serie A, the Coppa Italia, and the UEFA Cup, where it suffered a shock first round exit to Portuguese club Vitória de Guimarães.

During the 1996–97 Italian football season, F.C. Internazionale Milano competed in Serie A.

S.S.C. Napoli returned to Serie A with a stable funding from Aurelio De Laurentiis and a couple of exciting new signings in Marek Hamšík and Ezequiel Lavezzi. With those two quality players in the squad, Napoli was a reliable force, finishing 8th in the standings. Another surprising performer was defensive general Maurizio Domizzi, who scored 11 goals in all competitions, becoming the club's tied top scorer with Lavezzi.

Parma Football Club only just survived a horror Serie A season for the club, in which the cash-strapped club went from Champions League contenders to relegation strugglers, only surviving thanks to a spareggio victory against Bologna. With lethal striker Alberto Gilardino leaving the club for Milan and goalkeeper Sébastien Frey for Fiorentina, the future looked bleak, especially given that several clubs had accumulated more than 40 points in the 2004–05 season. On a positive note, Parma reached the semi finals of the UEFA Cup, where it drew 0–0 to CSKA Moscow, before finally losing 3–0 in Russia.

The 2011–12 season was Udinese Calcio's 17th consecutive and 32nd Serie A season. The club had a successful league season, finishing third in Serie A, but disappointed in the three cup competitions in which it competed. Udinese were eliminated from the Coppa Italia in the round of 16, and also experienced disappointment in the UEFA Champions League, where it was eliminated in the play-off round and thus failed to make its first appearance in the group stage since the 2005–06 season. As a result, Udinese dropped down to the UEFA Europa League, where it successfully advanced from both the group stage and the round of 32, only to be eliminated in the round of 16. Club captain and legend Antonio Di Natale was once again the team's top scorer, with 23 goals in Serie A and 29 in total.

The 2013–14 season was the 114th season in Società Sportiva Lazio's history and their 26th consecutive season in the top-flight of Italian football.
