The Italian national football team for women ( Italian Nazionale di calcio femminile dell'Italia ) represents Italy in international women's football . The national team is subordinate to the Italian Football Association and was coached by the 1982 world champion Antonio Cabrini from 2012 to 2017 .
The Italian selection has so far participated in two world and ten European championships . The greatest success of the Squadra Azzurra are the Vice European Championships in 1993 and 1997 . Italy has not yet qualified for the women's Olympic football tournament. When the FIFA Women's World Ranking was introduced in July 2003 through November 2006, Italy was 10th and then dropped out of the top 10 to 14th. The team is currently 14th.
history
The Italian women's team was one of the first European teams to play international matches. The first unofficial game took place on February 23, 1968 against Czechoslovakia . In 1969 Italy won the "Coppa Europa per Nazioni" 3-1 in the final against Denmark , in which England and France also took part. In 1970 the Danes were able to take revenge in the final of the first unofficial world championship, so that Italy only remained the "runner-up" title after the 2-0 defeat. At the 2nd unofficial World Cup in Mexico in 1971, Italy reached 3rd place. On November 28, 1971, the first international match recognized by FIFA followed. The Italians have been the only team to have participated in all European Championship finals since 1984 and have made it to the finals twice, but have not yet won a title.
