Cantore leaves Juventus Women to fly to the United States. Only beautiful words and gratitude for her departure. The player is a pride for everyone.

From Turin to Washington. And Soncin proud.

It is now official. Sofia Cantore leaves Juventus Women to join the top tier of the United States. The 1999-born forward has accepted the offer from Washington Spirit. The American club, to secure her services, has paid the buyout clause in her contract. We are talking about approximately 350,000 euros. This is a record figure for Italian women’s football.

It will go down in history as one of the top three most lucrative deals in Europe this season. Steps forward that will allow future years to dream of such figures. As if that weren’t enough, Cantore will become the first Italian player to compete in the NWSL (National Women’s Soccer League), the top U.S. women’s league. She will continue her career there after years of success in the black and white jersey.

Even the Coach of the Women’s National Team, Andrea Soncin, commented on the transfer of his forward:
“Cantore in the USA? The same applies as for Caruso: when leagues of that caliber approach our girls, it must be a source of pride for everyone, and I am pleased that their upgrade was achieved through performances in the blue jersey.”

Juventus: Thank you for everything, Sofia!

The Bianconeri club could not let this farewell go unnoticed. They officially bid farewell to Sofia Cantore with a long statement published on their official website, entitled “THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING, SOFIA!”. Here is the full text:

“Sprinting down the wing, perfect control, one-on-one, nutmeg on the opponent heading straight towards the penalty area, feint, shot to the far post. Goal.

It’s difficult to find a way to encapsulate and put together all the pieces that make up the personality and talent of Sofia Cantore, but the goal scored against PSG in the first leg of the super qualifying match last September holds quite a few together, between technique, desire, quality, and speed.

A player who over the years has become one of the protagonists of Juventus Women.

After many successes achieved together, the paths of our team and Sofia Cantore diverge: the Bianconeri forward will permanently move to Washington Spirit, after wearing the Juventus Women jersey 128 times in her career, starting from those final 17 minutes in the 3-0 victory against Atalanta Mozzanica on September 30, 2017 – a memorable match for her, as she turned 18 that day, celebrating her adulthood with her Serie A debut.

Cantore has truly grown in black and white in every aspect, winning Scudetti and trophies, climbing the ranks and carving out an increasingly important role within our team – up to the definitive consecration in the just-ended season, by far the best of her career with 18 goals in 39 matches. The last one coming in the farewell match, in the 4-0 final of the Coppa Italia, to close the circle exactly as she had opened it: with a victory.

A great professional with a contagious smile and enthusiasm that we bid farewell to with great affection: thank you Sofi, good luck for the future!”.

And what can we say? Crush it, Sofia.

AS Roma Women, without coach Spugna, has officially announced the arrival of his successor. It is a former Serie A footballer.

The new era at AS Roma Women is about to begin. After a subpar season, with only the conquest of the Italian Super Cup, there was a feeling that something needed to change, both on the field and on the bench.

Changes have already been made in recent weeks. Besides coach Alessandro Spugna (recently appointed as the new coach of Sassuolo Women), Mimani, Troelsgaard, Kresche, and Aigbogun have also left, heading to England. Confirming the ongoing change, Italian midfielder playing for Italy in the Women’s Euros in Switzerland, Giada Greggi, said: “I think there will be many changes. I am staying.”

Now, the new era can begin to take shape. Indeed, AS Roma Women, through a statement, has officially announced the arrival of Luca Rossettini as the new head coach of the team. For the former Chievo, Torino, and Bologna player, this will be his first experience in women’s football, after coaching the youth sector of Padova.

The coach has signed a contract until 2027.

Today the European Championship of the Italian Women’s team begins against Belgium. The goal is to reach at least the quarter-finals, something that has not happened since 2013.

It’s the debut day at EURO 2025 for the Azzurre against Belgium. The team led by Andrea Soncin aims to make it to the quarter-finals in a tough group with Belgium, Portugal, and Spain.

After being eliminated in the group stages in 2017 and 2022, will Bonansea and her teammates be able to redeem themselves?

Leading the Azzurre at EURO 2013 is Antonio Cabrini (coach from 2012 to 2017). Among the players called up are Sara Penzo, Sara Gama, Melania Gabbiadini, Cristiana Girelli, Elisa Camporese, Ilaria Mauro, Elisa Bartoli, and many others.

The draw places Italy in Group A alongside Sweden (the host), Denmark, and Finland. The debut against Finland ends goalless, followed by the first victory against Denmark. Goals in the second half by Gabbiadini (55′) and Mauro (60′) secure the win, despite a goal by Mia Brogaard (66′).

Despite a 3-1 loss to Sweden in the final match, Cabrini’s team qualifies for the quarter-finals, thanks to a 1-1 draw between Denmark and Finland. In the quarter-finals, they face a tough challenge against Germany, who finished second in Group B.

The Azzurre aim to redeem themselves from the quarter-finals elimination in 2009 against Germany. However, a goal by Simone Laudehr (26′) sends the Germans to the semi-finals. Mauro and her teammates create several chances (especially in the first half) but it’s not enough.

Nevertheless, the Azzurre exit the European Championship with their heads held high, while Germany wins their sixth consecutive European Championship.
