Current: 2021–22 Serie A |
The Serie A (Italian pronunciation: [ˈsɛːrje ˈa][1]), also called Serie A TIMvision due to sponsorship by TIMvision, is the highest league of women's football in Italy. Established in 1968, it has been run by the Italian Football Federation (FIGC) since the 2018–19 season, and currently features 12 teams.
The most successful club in the league’s history is Torres, who have won seven times. The current Serie A champions are Juventus, who won each of the last four years. As of the 2021–22 edition, the Serie A is ranked ninth in the UEFA women's coefficient, and the top two teams qualify for the UEFA Women's Champions League.[2]
The Serie A will become fully-professional from the 2022–23 season, removing the current salary cap and allowing teams to pay their players a higher wage.[3] Women's footballers will become the first female athletes in Italy to become fully professional.[4][5] The number of teams will also decrease from 12 to 10.
