Women's association football is a newly professionalized sport in Italy[1] relative to the greater emphasis of the male competitions.[2][3][4][5] However, it was also one of the first nations to host professional women's football after the era of European bans on women playing the sport came to a close in the 1970s, among the first modern European markets to import footballers from other European nations[6] and hosted the first unofficial edition of the Women's World Cup in 1970.[7]
