The Serie A (Italian pronunciation: [ˈsɛːrje ˈa][1]), also called Serie A Femminile eBay due to sponsorship by eBay, 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 10 teams.
The most successful club in the league’s history is Torres, who have won seven times. The current Serie A champions are Roma, who won their second consecutive title in 2023-24[2] after their 2022–23 triumph that ended a five-year series from Juventus who won each of the last five years before. As of the 2022–23 edition, the Serie A is ranked fifth in the UEFA women's coefficient, and the top two teams qualify for the UEFA Women's Champions League.[3]
The Serie A became fully-professional from the 2022–23 season, removing the salary cap and allowing teams to pay their players a higher wage.[4] Women's footballers became the first female athletes in Italy to be fully professional.[5][6] The number of teams also decreased from 12 to 10.
