Women: Pre-season plans in place

The new campaign promises to be an unforgettable one for the Giallorosse, with professionalism arriving to Serie A for the first time and, at Stadio Tre Fontane, the UEFA Women's Champions League set to touchdown as well.

Alessandro Spugna's side will prepare for both changes by reporting for work on July 12 at the club's Giulio Onesti training centre - with the only players not reporting being those currently involved in the ongoing European Championship.

On July 25 the group are scheduled to depart for a training camp in Cascia, which will then run until August 3. A number of those training sessons will be open to the public - with details of those to be announced in due course.

The club's first match of the season will be in Europe: they will face Glasgow City FC in Round 1 of the Champions League on August 18, with a match against either Servette or Paris FC the reward for the winner three days later.

The new Serie A season, meanwhile, starts on August 27.

Details of further pre-season friendlies will also be announced in due course.
