ROSSONERE, THE 2025/26 SEASON HAS BEGUN

The AC Milan Women's team commenced preparations for the 2025/26 season on Monday, 7th July, gathering at the PUMA House of Football for pre-season medical tests. They were welcomed by CEO Giorgio Furlani, Head of Women's Football Elisabet Spina, and manager Suzanne Bakker with her staff.

CEO Giorgio Furlani's presence underscored the club's commitment and the strategic importance of the women's project within AC Milan's vision to promote women's football nationally and internationally. During the gathering, midfielder Christy Grimshaw was awarded for becoming the third player (and first foreign player) in AC Milan Women's history to reach 100 official appearances, achieving this milestone on April 26th.

The official season starts at the end of August with a match against Sassuolo in the new Women's Cup 2025/26, where AC Milan will also face Roma and Ternana. To prepare, the team will play several friendlies in Italy and abroad. The first friendly is a three-way contest against Nuremberg and Zurigo in Dübendorf on Saturday, 26th July. Another significant friendly is against Rangers on 2nd August (live on the AC Milan Official App), followed by a match against reigning Women's Super League champions Chelsea in London on 30th August.

Several players (Giuliani, Piga, Koivisto, Mesjasz, Nadim) were absent due to EUROs commitments. However, new signings were present: Dutch players Kay-Lee de Sanders and Milicia Keijzer, along with Spaniard Sandra Estévez Ogalla.
