History

In January 2015, the Italian Football Federation established the women's futsal national team. with Roberto Menichelli, who had previously managed the men's national team as a coach for the team. The Azzurre made its debut on June 25, 2015, at the Foro Italico in Rome, defeating Hungary 5–0 in a friendly match. [3] [4]

In 2017, Francesca Salvatore was appointed as the team head coach, while UEFA decided to boost the entire movement by promoting and officially launching the first-ever Women's Futsal European Championship. Italy was drawn into the qualifying group in Leganés, alongside host nation Spain, Poland, and Romania. The team finished second in the group but failed to secure a spot for the finals in Gondomar, Portugal. [3]
