ACF Fiorentina, or simply Fiorentina, is an Italian women's football club based in Florence, Italy.
The club was founded in 2015 when ACF Fiorentina acquired the Serie A license of the existing women's club A.C.F. Firenze. Upon its foundation, Fiorentina Women's FC became the first ever professionally affiliated women's football club in the history of Italy. The team competes in Serie A.
The first president of the Fiorentina Women's FC was Sandro Mencucci, who was CEO of ACF Fiorentina.
In the 2016âÂÂ17 season, the Fiorentina Women's Football Club won both the Serie A Championship and the Coppa Italia Championship. This was the first scudetto for the club ACF Fiorentina since 1969 and also the first Serie A championship won by ACF Fiorentina's current owner Andrea Della Valle. On 17 June 2017, the club ACF Fiorentina won their first double. The Fiorentina Women's FC for the second consecutive year became the Coppa Italia title holders for their 3âÂÂ1 win over Brescia. The Fiorentina Women's FC qualified to participate in the 2017âÂÂ18, 2018âÂÂ19 UEFA Champions League and 2019âÂÂ20 UEFA Champions League competitions.
On 6 June 2019, the Fiorentina Women's Football Club passed into the hands of the Italian-American businessman Rocco Commisso, who purchased it from Diego and Andrea Della Valle together with ACF Fiorentina. The following season, 2019âÂÂ20, the team qualified to participate in the 2020âÂÂ21 UEFA Champions League competition. On 13 July 2020, SSD Fiorentina Women's Football Club was absorbed by Fiorentina SpA as ACF Fiorentina Femminile. In the summer of 2021 the coach Antonio Cincotta was not reconfirmed, leaving after 6 seasons; in his place the technical guide was assigned to Patrizia Panico in an year that could be seen as a season of transition for Fiorentina. The club was forced to worry more about avoiding a relegation battle than fighting for a Champions League place.
Fiorentina started the 2023âÂÂ24 season with a new coach, Sebastián de la Fuente. The season proved positive for the club, despite the lack of trophies, having reached the third place in the Serie A, and with defeats in the Coppa Italia final (on penalties, against Roma). After four years, the team qualified to participate in the 2024-25 UEFA Champions League competition, but failed to reach the group stage.
Fiorentina' home ground is the 3000-capacity Curva Fiesole Stadium (Stadio Curva Fiesole), situated inside the "Rocco B. Commisso Viola Park" Training Center in Bagno a Ripoli, near Florence. The Training Center was inaugurated on 11 October 2023, Stadio Curva Fiesole received UEFA licence.
