The Pisa Sporting Club Under-12 girls’ team has achieved a historic qualification for the Interregional phase of the tournament in this age group. This marks an all-time first for the division led by Stefano Colombo, which continues its rapid growth.
The very young Nerazzurre dominated their qualifying group, defeating Livorno, Bellaria, and Santa Maria a Monte in succession; they then faced Fiorentina, Arezzo, and Zenith Prato in the Final Four, which took place at the Federal Technical Center in San Giuliano Terme.
After drawing with Arezzo in their opening match, the Nerazzurre defeated Zenith Prato and then managed to win one of the periods in the derby against their more experienced opponents, Fiorentina; it was precisely this partial victory over the Viola that secured Pisa one of the two spots in the Interregional phase, which will pit teams from Tuscany and Liguria against each other.
This is truly a great achievement for a team made up of girls born in 2013, 2014, and 2015. The team has also qualified for the Final Four of the Debutantes Tournament, a new initiative introduced this year by the FIGC’s School Youth Sector to give young female players the opportunity to compete in matches and team games; after winning their preliminary round, the Nerazzurre will compete for a spot in the regional final in Montelupo Fiorentino in a match scheduled for May 16.
These are the young Nerazzurri players who make up the Under-12 and Under-10 teams in the women’s division of Pisa Sporting Club: Isabella Burchi, Emily Corriano, Lucrezia Baldini, Giulia Bracci, Linda Cordioli, Wanda Di Perna, Ludovica Loiacono, Rebel Carrese, Rio Gimutao, Emma Esposito, Aurora Matteoli, Giulia Cempini, Diletta Lombardi, Giulia Marcucci, Beatrice Riccarducci, Sofia Martinelli, Chiara Muzzioli, Lidia Salvadorini, Elena Pelamatti, Carla Ostili, Anna Simonetti, Nicoletta Terreni, Matilde Testa
