Pisa Sporting Club Struggles in Serie A Relegation Battle
PISA, March 02, 2026 – Pisa Sporting Club continues its difficult campaign in the Italian top flight, facing a critical fixture against Bologna today as the club fights to escape the relegation zone. Currently sitting in 19th position, the “Nerazzurri” are grappling with a severe winless streak that has jeopardized their status in Serie A.
Current Season and Recent Form
The 2025/26 season has proven challenging for Oscar Hiljemark’s side. As of March 2, 2026, Pisa occupies the 19th spot in the Serie A standings, just ahead of Hellas Verona. The team’s struggle for results was highlighted recently by defender Samuele Angori, who set an unwanted record with a 20-game winless run in appearances. Pisa’s only victory of the campaign thus far remains a narrow home win against Cremonese.
In their most recent outing last Monday, Pisa suffered a 1-0 defeat at the hands of Fiorentina, with Moise Kean scoring the decisive goal. This result allowed Fiorentina to climb out of the drop zone while leaving Pisa further adrift. Today’s match against Bologna at the Cetilar® Arena is seen as a “must-win” to keep survival hopes alive before upcoming fixtures against Juventus (March 7) and Cagliari (March 15).
Club Identity and Infrastructure
Founded in 1909, Pisa Sporting Club is iconic for its black and blue (Nero-Azzurro) striped kits, a tradition adopted shortly after its inception following a brief period using the city’s red and white colors. The club plays its home matches at the Arena Garibaldi – Stadio Romeo Anconetani, currently referred to as the Cetilar® Arena for sponsorship purposes, which holds a capacity of approximately 12,500 spectators.
Under the ownership of Alexander Knaster and the chairmanship of Giuseppe Corrado, the club returned to Serie A after a long absence, aiming to replicate the success of the 1980s when the team secured two Mitropa Cup titles (1985 and 1988).
