Decreto Crescita

The Decreto Crescita (Growth Decree) is an Italian legislative package providing tax incentives for economic growth and investment, periodically renewed by successive Italian governments. In the context of the 2026 FIGC presidential race, it is referenced as part of Giovanni Malagò's reform agenda — specifically, the package of measures he would seek to advance through parliamentary channels if elected FIGC president. Alongside gambling-ad repeal and a proposed 1% betting levy earmarked for grassroots football, the Decreto Crescita requires parliamentary votes rather than federation-only action, making Malagò's institutional relationships with government and the sports minister strategically important.

The Growth Decree and its successor provisions are instruments of Italy's broader economic policy, periodically applied to professional sport as part of incentive frameworks for foreign investment in Italian football clubs.
