Italy at the UEFA Women's Championship

Last updated

Italy have participated 13 times at UEFA Women's Championship.

Contents

While the men's senior team have won the UEFA European Championship, the women's team is yet to win a single edition. [1] Italy have participated in the inaugural European Championship in 1984, where they were eliminated in the semi-finals against Sweden. Italy have failed the qualification once, in 1995. [2]

Italy lost two finals: in 1993 against Norway [3] and in 1997 against Germany. [4] It is the best Italy's record. [5]
