Serie A Women closed 2025 with a clearer league table picture: Roma, Juventus, Fiorentina, and Inter are all involved in the race for Europe and, to a lesser extent given the gap to first place, in the title battle. As matchdays unfolded with plenty of uncertainty, the year ends in a situation that closely mirrors last season.
Key Takeaways From the First Half of 2025-26 Serie A Women
Roma finished top with 22 points, suffering only one defeat (the 2-5 against Fiorentina) and one draw in the high-profile clash with Juventus. The Giallorosse showed consistency across most fixtures, managing to win even when not at their best. The road in Serie A Women is long, but Roma look well-positioned to reclaim the title.
Behind them, Juventus and Fiorentina have taken different paths. The Bianconere struggled in the opening rounds but are gradually improving, albeit inconsistently. Fiorentina, meanwhile, are progressing with a young squad: performances sometimes lack sharpness even in victory, yet at times they have displayed their full potential.
Can Milan, Como Women, and Napoli Reshape the Table?
Three teams that impressed in this stretch are Milan, Como Women, and Napoli. The Rossonere, aside from the heavy 1-5 derby defeat, have shown greater consistency than last season. Still, defensive issues and late-game management remain a concern, as highlighted by losses to Roma and Fiorentina and the 2-2 draw conceded to Sassuolo in Fiorenzuola.
For Como Women and Napoli, the narrative is a little bit different. The Lariane capitalized on a surprising win in Biella and benefited from a balanced calendar. Napoli followed a similar trajectory, defeating Fiorentina and Inter at home to secure six crucial points. Their latest performance against Juventus has also placed them firmly in the conversation. For both sides, consistency will be the key target heading into 2026.
Lazio: Is It Time for Europe?
Lazio have finally entered the Champions League race, defeating Parma 1-0 in Formello despite being reduced to ten players for nearly an hour. They are winning key matches without relying on the trademark style that characterized their 2024-25 Serie A Women campaign. Still, the defeats and underwhelming performances in top clashes – where last season the team often excelled – raise questions about the squad’s strength and mentality. Yet wins are wins, and the Biancocelesti have managed to deliver results when expectations were lower. For 2026, this could prove to be a true sliding-doors moment.
