Fixture list set for Roma Women

The Giallorosse will open the campaign at home to AC Milan - who finished third last season - in September, while their first away trip sees them face league and Coppa Italia runners-up Fiorentina.

"The start to season looks tough and it undoubtedly will be, but it's also a big way to kick off an important season for the Italian league and for women's football," Bavagnoli said.

"I think we have to accept it and be ready: last season we started the season thinking it was a slightly kinder first few games and we know how that panned out. We need to be ready to go from the first game."

Bavagnoli's side close out the season against Pink Bari in the middle of May.
