Promoted clubs of the Big 5 leagues – returning giants and first-timers
Football resumes in most European top leagues around these days. Match calendars had to be altered to make space for the first ever FIFA World Cup to be held during the winter. The English Premier League, the German Bundesliga and the French Ligue 1 were the first of the Big 5 leagues to return to action last weekend. Spain’s La Liga and Italy’s Serie A kick off this weekend. The Big 5 leagues are welcoming 14 promoted clubs among their ranks – among them we find such major clubs as Germany’s Schalke 04 and Werder Bremen, EPL’s Nottingham Forest as well as debutants to top tier football, such as Italy’s Monza. In an overview, we introduce all the promoted clubs within the top five leagues.
