Carpi promoted to Serie A for the first time in their history

Small-town club Carpi have been promoted to Serie A for the first time in their history.

The Biancorossi, whose Stadio Sandro Cabassi home holds only 4,144 supporters, have led the Serie B table for much of the current season and a goalless draw at home to Bari on Tuesday night confirmed their ascent to the top flight.

A statement from Serie A congratulated the Emilia-Romagna team -- reformed following bankruptcy 15 years ago, and who won promotion from Serie D only five years ago.

Fabrizio Castori's men will tackle the likes of Juventus, AC Milan and Roma in 2015-16.
