Career

Orsi started her top-class career with Reggiana, winning the Serie B title in 2016–17. With the club being promoted as Sassuolo, Orsi moved to Empoli in 2017 before returning to the now-renamed Sassuolo the following year.

She celebrated her 100th game for the club in 2024. [7]

Orsi enjoyed three top-four finishes with Sassuolo in Serie A – third in 2020–21, with fourth-place taken by the club in 2021–22 and 2023–24.

International career

Benedetta Orsi was part of the national youth selections starting at Under-16 and Under-17 level, [8] playing in the 2016 UEFA Women's Under-17 Championship under Rita Guarino.

Subsequently, Orsi was called up to the national Under-19 team, taking part in the qualifications for the 2019 European Championship, but Italy were eliminated in the elite qualifying phase. [9] Orsi went on to play in the 2019 La Manga Tournament with Italy. [10]

Orsi was called up by Milena Bertolini for the first time to the senior national team in March 2021 for a friendly against Iceland, but did not take to the field. [11] She made her national team debut on 16 February 2022, being fielded as a starter in Italy's first match at the 2022 Algarve Cup, which they won 1–0 against Denmark. [12]

She was included in the Italy national squad for the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup, playing one match. The Azzurrine were eliminated in the group stage, beating Argentina 1–0 [13] but losing 5–0 to Sweden [14] and 3–2 to South Africa, with Orsi only featuring in the latter, opening the scoring for South Africa with an own goal.
