History

In June 2019, Raffaele Pipola the President of ASDC Pomigliano, a club in the men's Serie D, formed a women's section for the club by buying out an existing team called Vapa Virtus Napoli. [2] Due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Italy, their debut 2019–20 season was stopped early and since Pomigliano were leading their regional Serie C section they were promoted to Serie B. [3] In 2020–21 they finished in second place behind Lazio to claim their second successive promotion, into the top tier Serie A. [4]

Former Italy women's national football team player Manuela Tesse was the coach who secured the second promotion, but she was fired three games into the 2021–22 Serie A season. [5] The season was concluded in eight place, securing the spot in Serie A. In 2022–23 Serie A season Pomigliano CF finished in ninth position, entering the play-off against Lazio, which finished in second position in Serie B. Pomigliano won the play-off and maintained its spot in Serie A. [6] Despite their efforts, Pomigliano faced relegation following their 2023-24 campaign which saw them finish last in Serie A with 12 points.
