Challenges in Italian women's rugby

Overview

Italian women's rugby is facing significant structural and financial obstacles. Despite the national team's performance, the domestic championship has seen a decline in quality, leading to the closure of historic clubs like Colorno's Furie Rosse and the migration of top players to foreign leagues.

The Linci Rugby Club Milano project, which currently holds the highest number of registered female players in Italy, is struggling with financial difficulties and tensions with the Italian Rugby Federation, hindering its growth potential.
