TheItaly women's national football team (Italian:Nazionale di calcio femminile dell'Italia) has representedItaly in internationalwomen's football since their inception in 1968. The team is controlled by theItalian Football Federation (FIGC), the governing body for football in Italy.
Formed in 1968, Italy took part in various unofficial international tournaments, hosting the first unofficialEuropean Competition in 1969 andWorld Cup in 1970. Italy qualified for both the firstWorld Cup in 1991, where they reached the quarter-finals, and the first European Championship. While Italy were runners-up in theEuropean Championship in1993 and1997, they are yet to replicate similar success at theWorld Cup. In2019, after a 20-year drought, Italy qualified for the World Cup where they equaled their previous best performance, reaching the quarter-finals.
The women's national team played its first game on 23 February 1968, inViareggio againstCzechoslovakia. However, the national team was not yet part of the Italian Women's Football Federation, which was founded on 11 March in Viareggio. From the beginning, they took part in various continental and international tournaments in Europe and in the world, also achieving good successes. With the birth of theEuropean Competition for Women's Football (1984), organized byUEFA, and later theWomen's World Cup, organized byFIFA, the highest international women's competitions became equivalent to the men's competitions.
After its debut in 1968, the Italy national team took to the field to compete in other non-official international friendlies and tournaments, such as theEuropean Competition in 1969 that saw it win the final overDenmark,[2] theWorld Cup in 1970 that saw it lose the final against the aforementioned Danish national team,[3] competitions both organized inItaly, and the Mundial inMexico in 1971 where they achieved third place.[4] In 1979, Italy hosted, and participated in theunofficial European Competition, reaching the final again, which took place at theSan Paolo Stadium inNaples, and in which Denmark triumphed again.[5] Between 1981 and 1988 there were five editions of theMundialito, an international invitation-only tournament, one of the most prestigious events in the women's football scene before the advent of the World Cup. Apart from the first edition in 1981 that was organized inJapan, the next four were organized in Italy, where the Italy national team obtained three victories and two second places overall.[6] The triumphs arrived in 1981, winning the group, in 1984 overcomingWest Germany in the final and in 1986 overcoming theUnited States in the final, while in the other two editions it lost the final againstEngland.
In 1984, UEFA organized thefirst European Competition. Italy won Group 3 of thequalifiers, being one of four teams to qualify for the final round.[7] Italy facedSweden, being defeated both in the first leg, played at theFlaminio Stadium inRome in front of 10,000 spectators, and in the return match inLinköping.[7] In 1987, Italy again gained access to theEuropean Competition, winning Group 4 of thequalifiers. In the final stage organized in Norway, Italy were defeated in the semi-final against thehost nation, but achieved third place by defeating England, with goals byCarolina Morace andElisabetta Vignotto.[8] Italy were also confirmed in the1989 edition, having passed thequalifying phase with a play-off win againstFrance. Italy finished fourth in the tournament, having lost the semi-final againstWest Germany after apenalty shoot-out, as well as in the third place match against Swedenafter extra time.[9]
In the1991 European Championship, Italy was once again admitted to the four-team finals, after having won thequalifying play-off against the Sweden.[10] In the final tournament, Italy repeated what had happened two years before, losing both the semi-final against the German hosts and the final for third place against Denmark, although even with the fourth-place finish, gained access to the first edition of the World Cup organized by FIFA in the same year.[10] Theworld championship was organized in China, as Italy was drawn into Group 3 together with Germany,Chinese Taipei andNigeria.[11] Italy ended the group in second place with two victories against Taipei and Nigeria and a defeat against Germany; all four goals for the team came from Carolina Morace. Italy advanced to the quarter-finals, where they were defeated by Norway 3–2 after extra time.[11]
The1993 European Championship was hosted in Italy.[12] After defeatingEngland in the final play-off match, Italy overcameGermany in the semi-finals after apenalty shoot-out. In the final, played at the Manuzzi Stadium inCesena, Italy was defeated 1–0 by Norway.[12] Norway also denied Italy a place at the1995 European Championship, with a 7–3 aggregate loss in thequalifying play-offs. Consequently, Italy also didn't qualify for the1995 World Cup.
Italy participated in the1997 European Championship, with the number of teams participating in the competition increasing from four to eight. In Group B, Italy defeated Norway and drew against Denmark and Germany, still achieving first in the group advancing to the knockout stage.[13] In the semi-final Italy beatSpain 2–1, but in the final, were defeated 2–0 by Germany.[13] In 1998, Italy qualified for the World Championship for the second time. The1999 edition took place in the United States, with Italy being drawn in Group B along withBrazil, Germany andMexico. After a 1–1 draw against Germany in the debut match, Italy lost 2–0 to Brazil, and ended the group with a 2–0 victory over Mexico; Italy finishing third in the group and were eliminated.[14]
With the beginning of the 2000s, a decline in the performance of the Italy national team began. At the2001 European Championship, Italy, coached byCarolina Morace, were eliminated in the group stage due to a worse goal difference compared to Norway.[15]
Four years later, at the2005 European Championship, Italy finished last in its group with zero points, losing all three of their matches againstGermany, Norway and France, conceding twelve goals overall.[16] Redemption came in the2009 edition, with Italy defeating bothEngland andRussia, advancing to the knock-out stage as second-placed in the group behindSweden who had defeated them. In the quarter-finals, Italy faced Germany, where they lost 2–1; Germany would ultimately win their seventh continental title.[17]
Having failed to qualify for the2003 and2007 editions of the World Cup, Italy also failed to qualify for the2011 edition in theintercontinental two-legged play-off betweenUEFA andCONCACAF. The United States won the first leg 1–0 inPadua with a goal byAlex Morgan in the fourth minute of added time, while they also won the second leg by a score of 1–0 inBridgeview with a goal byAmy Rodriguez in the first half.[18]
Italy qualified for the2013 European Championship in Sweden by winning thequalifying group with nine victories out of ten matches. At the tournament, Italy was drawn in Group A with hosts Sweden, Denmark andFinland. With one win, one draw and one defeat, Italy advanced from the group stage to the quarter-finals in second place, but were defeated 1–0 by Germany.[19]
In the following two years, Italy, led byAntonio Cabrini, was involved in thequalification for the2015 World Championship: despite eight victories out of ten games, including two record victories againstNorth Macedonia (11–0 and 15–0),[20] they finished in second place in Group 2 behind Spain, sending Italy to the play-offs. In the first round of the play-offs, Italy defeatedUkraine 4–3 on aggregate, but were defeated by theNetherlands 3–2 on aggregate in the final round of the play-offs.
Italyqualified for the2017 European Championship second in its group behindSwitzerland. At the European Championship, Italy finished in last place in Group B behind Germany, Sweden and Russia, despite the victory in the third game against Sweden.[21]

On 8 June 2018, twenty years since their last participation, Italyqualified for the2019 FIFA World Cup, winning its qualifying group with a game in hand.[22] In the group stage of the tournament, Italy wonGroup C, recording two victories againstAustralia (2–1) andJamaica (5–0), which guaranteed advancement to the knockout stage, with Italy's defeat toBrazil (0–1) irrelevant to the final table. In the round of 16, Italy won 2–0 overChina, advancing to the quarter-finals for the second time in their history.[23] However, with a 2–0 defeat toEuropean Champions theNetherlands, Italy's World Cup journey came to an end on 29 June 2019.[24] The following year, Italy advanced to the final of the2020 Algarve Cup (and the first Algarve Cup final of their history) but Italy had to withdraw the match due to theCOVID-19 pandemic in Italy andGermany were declared as winners.[25] In the2022 Algarve Cup, Italy managed to reach the final again but lost againstSweden 6–5 at thepenalty shoot-outs after the 1–1 draw after the extra-time.[25]
However, Italy failed to produce the same form in theUEFA Women's Euro 2022, finishing bottom with only one point and one goal scored, though much blames were taken for theSerie A having not gone professional until the end of the tournament. After that failure, Italy qualified for the2023 FIFA Women's World Cup by winning two games againstMoldova andRomania with the team now fully recognised professional, finishing top of the group in the qualifiers, ahead ofSwitzerland, which was rather an irony after the men's team fell victim to the sameSwiss opponents in the2022 FIFA World Cup qualifiers.
